About cattanart.com


Born in Montevideo, Uruguay, Robert Cattan immigrated to the United States as a teenager. His interest in photography was sparked by a high school course which allowed him hours of time to creatively express himself. Photography gave him a means to communicate in a country where the language and culture was foreign to him. Robert's interest soon became a career path.

Over the past 25 years, Robert has explored a variety of photographic avenues. He has shot studio work for clients such as American Express, Mastercard and IBM. Owning a studio in the 1980's and 1990's , he created optical effects for audio-visual presentations. More recently, Robert became a fine art printer and artist using his knowledge of photography to print exhibits for top photojournalists.

Additionally, Robert is represented by Index Stock Imagery with photographs licensed world-wide. He has exhibited his fine art photography at several shows including the Louis K. Meisel Gallery in NYC, the Catskill Center for Photography , Belle Levine Arts Center and a one man show at Full Circle Gallery.

Robert's passion is to create images that express life's beauty focusing on the cycles in nature, spanning birth to death. Through light and shadow, he brings out the beauty in the subject in the style of a Dutch master.
