Bio

Carlos is a Chilean abstract artist who combines the practice of recycling and inspiration from the upcycling movement to create pieces that reflect not only a thought on how art can impact on the current catastrophic environmental situation, but also on the process to transform and give new life to materials and elements that are left aside for trash and manifest a new perspective on transformation and existence. With the use of different techniques, always working with materials rescued from garbage or recycled directly from the street, the main claim is to trans-form and upcycle elements into an artform for a message, a point of view and criticism on how we are destroying ourselves and the planet, and how we are part of the universe itself. With an abstract gesture, the focus is on linking colors and figures with 2 themes in distance: one in relation to the infinity of the universe, expanding space, galaxies and the unknown, and the other in relation to what makes us part of this planet. the environment, nature, vegetation, flora, and fauna.
