John Cala

John Cala is a contemporary visual artist whose work explores the interplay between memory, perception, and the passage of time. Born in 1988 in New York City, Cala developed a fascination with urban landscapes and the subtle narratives hidden within everyday environments. After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Pratt Institute, he embarked on a journey that blended elements of painting, photography, and mixed media installation.

His practice is characterized by a meticulous layering technique that evokes both the complexity and fragility of human experience. Cala’s art has been exhibited in galleries across the United States and Europe, earning him recognition for his evocative use of color and texture. Inspired by both personal histories and broader social themes, Cala continually seeks to engage viewers in an intimate dialogue about presence and absence.

He currently lives and works in Brooklyn, where he remains an active participant in the local and international art communities.
