Mural Artist
"John Kuna"

John Kuna has dedicated himself to the art of professional mural painting almost immediately upon graduating from The Ontario College of Artand Design in 1997.

Today, his public and commercial works are featured in over 40 cities across Canada
and the United States, including hallmark Canadian locations such as
The Montreal Forum
and The Skydome in Toronto.
Recently, his artwork also appeared on the popular "Greatest Canadian" program aired on CBC.

Apart from his achievements in this field, John also continues to develop
his personal body of work, specializing in fine painting and portraiture.

He has earned commissions from clients in The United Kingdom, Egypt,
and The Czech Republic as well as throughout North America.

John was born in the Czech Republic, arriving to Canada when only ten years of age.
Now based in Toronto, he continues to refine his style and technique drawing upon his travels
and this city's vibrant cultural heritage for inspiration. Since murals are so accessible
and can achieve so much to transform a public space, it is his sincere hope that his art continues
to be of the best possible service to the viewing public and community.

Work In Progress:  John Kuna, a mural artist, is busy putting on the final touches to his third giant mural.

The works of art are located on the sides of buildings in the Islington Village area
and show scenes from years passed.
