The Artistic Spirit of cartissi
cartissi is a celebrated artistic duo composed of accomplished painters Lori-Ann Bellissimo and Ian Mason. By fusing two distinct voices into a singular vision, they create compelling visual narratives that span various styles and mediums. Their work is deeply inspired by international artist residencies and their dual-studio lifestyle; while they maintain a presence in Toronto, Canada, their creative heart resides in a charming former Sunday schoolhouse on the stunning Cornish coast. This connection to the natural beauty of the United Kingdom, combined with experiences across South East Asia and Italy, allows cartissi to produce everything from vibrant paintings to world-renowned contemporary canine portraiture.
Beyond their original gallery pieces, the duo is dedicated to ensuring art meets home décor. They specialise in art licensing and bespoke commissions, collaborating with interior designers to enhance sophisticated hospitality, commercial, and residential spaces worldwide. From their youthful casa cartissi collection—which celebrates geometric graphic design—to their elegant global installations, every piece is recognised for its originality and emotional depth. We invite you to explore a unique collection that celebrates the rich tapestry of global artistry and discover how cartissi can ignite your creativity and transform your space.
