Juan Carlos Collada

“Collada Art feels like the culmination of all the things I’ve done and all the places I’ve been.” Juan Carlos Collada is a multi-media artist with creativity in his DNA. A Miami native, he studied Painting and Printmaking at Miami Dade College. He firmly believes that artists should experience and experiment with various mediums. He has lived and worked as a textile designer in Milan, a furniture designer in San Francisco, a decorative lighting designer in North Carolina and as a fashion stylist in Miami. He currently divides his time between Toronto, Canada and Naples, Florida. As a child, Juan Carlos spent time in the Florida Keys enjoying a connection with the outdoors. He was heavily influenced by his surroundings, fostering a life-long love of nature. For him, “home” is the intersection of art, nature, and strong family ties. Collada Art brings together Juan Carlos’ love of design and the natural world.
