Ilan Hoffmann, the innovative architect of CanvasLight, is an accomplished sculptor and painter. He was trained at the Accademia di Brera in Milano, Italy, where he conceived of, and developed the technology for, CanvasLight.

Through CanvasLight, Mr. Hoffmann brings to bear the poetic perspective of reality. Images of the same figurative subject are duplicate and serigraphed on a number of transparent plexiglass panels using palates of primary colors with various transparency levels. They are then positioned along assorted distances and exposed from behind to natural light or reflected light, generating the visual impression of a magical three dimensional image.

Mr. Hoffmann’s CanvasLight has been exhibited throughout major galleries and museums in Italy. Based on his experiences as a marketing consultant for the multi-media sector, Mr. Hoffmann believes the market is ready for the CanvasLight experience.
