Statement
Carlos‘ main medium is oil on linen. His paintings consist mostly of human figures and portraits, his interest lies in the ambiguity of identity, playfully questioning the perception of the viewer. He believes in painting as an impulsive and intuitive act in order to create a fresh and direct expression.
“Having been our only protection against HIV for so many decades, latex is a material that obviously has reshaped our (sexual) life in many ways. Creating safety as well as distance, it protects us as it numbs us, allows us to hide behind it and take on new identities.”
