Canadian artist Cory Ciona draws inspiration from a life shaped by movement, nature, texture and exploration. Raised in Canada’s Hinterland and educated in Fine Arts at the Alberta College of Art and Design, his creative path has taken him from the Rocky Mountains to Sydney and London, where the works of Monet, Rothko, and Richter left a lasting influence.

​

Cory’s art blends raw texture, natural elements, and emotional depth—an approach that earned him a feature in Vogue UK. A certified sommelier since 2007, he co-authored the award-winning Cidres du Québec and founded the Canadian Wine and Art Festival in Mont-Tremblant.

Now based in the Laurentians at Studio 48, Cory creates original artwork, photography, and sculpture, while also curating wine events and running the private club, The Naked Sommeliers. His work is deeply rooted in experience, memory, and place—inviting viewers to connect, reflect, and explore.
