candas

Non-PRO Spanish to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting

Hi everyone-- Perhaps someone will have insight into this. A list of artwork makes reference to an oil painting, "Candas grises" by Ecuadorian painter, Uzhca. No idea what "canda" might be. I have tried thinking of possible typos, to no avail. Thanks!

Sorry not to have more context, but it is a list.

Type of fabric???

Israel Briseno Sep 20, 2015: Canvas Gris perhaps Might be the fabric to paint in gray color
Karen Dinicola (asker) Apr 17, 2015: Thank you all so much for your help ... not having found a solution, I think the best approach will be to render the term as is, as mamelushen suggests.
lugoben Apr 17, 2015: Candas grises If Alfonso Uzhca painted "Candas grises" he must have kept it as a secret as no reference has been found to it and even to other work by the painter.
George Rabel Apr 16, 2015: ¿Cañadas grises? One possibility, although "canda" could be some kind of Ecuadorian regionalism. We need Patricia Fierro to come to the rescue.
Monica Colangelo Apr 16, 2015: Possibly a typo I haven't been able to find it either. However, I did find that painter Alfonso Uzhca is the head of the Asociación de Artistas Plásticos de Las Peñas. You may want to find more info there.
