About Carlos

"He started painting at age five. Maybe that's why he never took seriously 'that thing of being an artist'. He has dedicated his efforts and rigor to architecture and scenography, and grew up painting secretly, in the shadow of other creators. Carlos concurred on a forum, with the InspirArte Foundation and through it he did participate in an artist residency in Ifitry (Essaouira, Morocco). There he released the fear and displayed in a solo exhibition on that Journey, audiences and critics applauded his art. Since then he has not stopped to investigate, experiment to show on any material this urge to throw color to his emotions. " Pilar Algarra

Painting

Starting

Since I was born to recent years

Since I can remember, I always felt a special attraction to draw. And also, which is not the same, to learn to draw. To copy the reality and to catch it on paper. I confess that I've drawn a lot and I have copied everything I could.

Over recent years, I have become a painter. I always felt comfortable drawing and painting. I needed that. I could never go long without smell the paint, without to stain me. I used every possible occasion to "design" painting, when I could just paint.

Stage Designer

Theatre

1980 - Present

In theater all arts converge, perhaps for this reason I was interested from the beginning and also the possibility for teamwork, combining efforts. Also in the set design you have two great tools, one is the dramatic text, the story to tell and the other, the duration of the show and that allows you to express your idea, working with the psychology of the viewer.
I began my relationship with the theater in 1980 with the launch of the company Ananda Dansa, doing set designs, graphic design and other both artistic and technical work.
