Amazing Latin Art. We discovered Canapo Art Gallery by chance on trip to Carmel in about 2005 and purchased two paintings by an artist from Guanajuato, Mexico. Upon arriving back home we decided that there was one other painting that we just had to have. I called Carlos Porras, the owner, we agreed on a price, and he delivered it to my

house (a two-hour drive north) at no charge. Since then, we have purchased approx. five more paintings, have seen his business grow (necessitating a move to a much larger location), and enjoyed seeing the new artists he has come to represent. We have found him to be very professional, extremely knowledgeable and very competitive in the pricing of his artwork. This gallery is a must see for those who are lovers of Mexican artwork and Mexican home decorating items.

You will be pleasantly surprised and will most likely come home with something new for your "casa."

Trustworthy Business. I have been doing business with Carlos Porras, the owner of Canapo Art Gallery for over 15 years. I have seen him grow his business and clientele to become one of the best galleries in the competitive Carmel area. This is not possible if what the people with negative reviews below was true. Costumer satisfaction is number one at Canapo Art Gallery, always has been and always will. Look no further for truly stunning art that will fill the whole on both your wall, and your heart.

Unfair Business Practices By City S.. C S, I used two words to describe the name of the company allowing this review. If you try to add a review using the Company’s name, they block you and do not allow the comment to be displayed. My name is Carlos Porras and I have been the owner of Canapo Art Gallery for 18 years. I have been under attack by four unethical and unprofessional artists because I did not agree to meet their demands. I currently represent more than 35 artists and have been working with some of them for several years without any problems.

The company allowing the bad reviews had been sued for click fraud as well as several other legal violations. They claim to have full control of what is in display in its web site with the only intention to force you to do business with them at all cost. According to this company the only way to overcome the bad reviews is by asking your customers to write a positive review and boost CS sales.

Beautiful Art Gallery - Generous Proprietor. As a collector of fine art, I have never met a more congenial nor trustworthy person to do business with than the owner of Canapo Galleries, Carlos Porras. When I came into his gallery, I was in awe of the magnificence of the many, varied paintings his gallery displays. He took the time to show me every artist, gave me the background information about them and gave me an offer I could not refuse. He actually said he would ship a painting to me without purchasing it first to make sure I would like it in my home. He also gave me a very fair price for this particular artist's work. I cannot say enough about his gallery and his business ethics. I feel it is the most beautiful gallery in Carmel - very professional, well-known artists who use vibrant colors and very interesting subjects.

Look no further for great Latin American Art. I have known Carlos Porras for more than 10 years. I first met him when he was running his first gallery in Carmel. Since then I have been conducting business with him and he has always been a real professional. He does a real good job at making sure that the customers are satisfied with their purchases to the point where he will let them take the artwork home so that they can live with it before making a decision (to buy or not). I have also found that he really cares for the artists he represents, I have met a couple of them. I think him and his gallery are a real asset to the Carmel art scene. I highly recommend him as a very fair art dealer, and I will continue doing business with him.
