Artist Portfolio Magazine – International Art Exhibition

Artist Statement: “As artists, one of our roles is to be the eyes and voice of the underlying processes that govern the individual (the artist him/herself), the collective (society at large) and nature as a whole. A single piece of artwork is a blueprint of a larger web of interconnections. This specific series “Sacred Spaces” is an exploration of the two modes of reality as we perceive it: the outer or material (represented by the figurative or found object part of the painting) and the inner or psychological represented by the abstraction that serves as a ground for the other.”

About Carlos

Lives and works in Ojai, California.
Studied Music, Graphic Arts and Painting in Buenos Aires, Paris and Los Angeles. Began as a professional musician (flute) in Paris in the late 70s and 80s, eventually evolving into drawing and fine arts. His painting apprenticeship started with still-life and portraiture in the classical Old Master’s style under the guidance of master painter David A. Leffel. Later on, his artwork evolved towards pure abstraction.
