Art by Son is the stage name of Cani (pronounced Sonny). Cani was born on May 16, 1986 in Mitrovica, Kosovo. As a small boy, Cani fled to the Netherlands in 1992 with his family. Cani always loved to draw, but it wasn’t until he was twenty-five that he really started doing something with it. He drew portraits and designed tattoos. He soon developed a very personal style that you can now clearly see in the Art by Son paintings.
