Knut Pani (b. 1956, Mexico City) is a Mexican artist whose practice investigates how personal narratives are encoded within objects and surfaces. Working across painting, printmaking, and artist’s books, he considers marks, stains, and textual fragments as temporal traces shaped by gesture, memory, and daily experience.

Situated between memory and materiality, his work transforms remnants and altered surfaces into evocative emotional landscapes. Through restrained palettes and layered processes—scraping, glazing, and superimposition—Pani constructs tactile compositions that favor suggestion over explicit narrative, presenting a silent and sensory visual language.

Educated at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena (BFA), he has combined his artistic practice with teaching and collaboration, founding experimental workshops such as Trazo in Mexico City and El Pez Soluble in Tequisquiapan, alongside international projects in Spain and the Netherlands.
