Santino Dela is a Canadian artist and writer whose work seeks to explore time, memory, fragility, impermanence, presence, absence and the sacred inside the ordinary.

Working across painting, collage, and mixed media, he creates layered surfaces that balance concealment and revelation, allowing images, gestures, cultural residue and fragments of meaning to emerge through time. His practice is rooted in attention—to memory, place, ritual, and the quiet transformations that shape a life.

He was born in Vancouver, BC (b. 1990) and now lives and works on a farm in the Fraser Valley with his wife and daughter.
