Head IX | Carlos Blanco

Carlos Blanco is a visual artist who stands out for his meticulousness and for solving a highly complex formal problem: how to display a tumultuous, deformed reality with successive agglomerations in a completely harmonious and aesthetically pleasing manner. Nothing he presents is the result of chance; his harmonious color palette, balanced compositions, rich textures, and continuous experimentation with volume and stroke demonstrate exhaustive preliminary planning. His technical and formal rigor prevail over conceptual depth, which seems to be subjected to a dance between the traditional values of plastic arts: color, composition, texture, stroke, volume, and depth.
