The rich cultural identity of Colombia has thought him to view culture in all of its manifestations as one of the key pieces to creating a happy and just world. Carlos has always felt that artists of our time have a great responsibility to reflect and contribute to the improvement of social processes through generating spaces of sharing and deeper connection to ourselves, each other and the world around us, thus honoring, preserving and creating culture.

With subtle infusions of South American style and use of color and images Carlos’ artwork captures the wide range of human emotions regardless of culture, geography, age, race, etc. Having grown up in rural mountain area of Colombia the diverse tapestry of nature and the human place within it are topics which inspire and find voice in Carlos’s paintings and murals.
