International Artist
Carlos is a prolific artist,
with dozens of paintings
reminiscent of Spanish
sunsets. These are romantic
cityscapes with an edge of
intelligence, dramatic
emotions painted with
coolness. His perspective is
often from a distance,
rendered with watery shapes
and warm colors -- his work
is...

Style:
Carlos Pardo’s painting shows us a figurative, though speculative, form of expression in which the town, the real protagonist of his paintings, becomes an autonomous plastic element, surreal and metaphysical. Its anonymous inhabitants, and especially its mysterious women, are part of its hectic movement or are silent, dazed spectators of its enormity; they are part of the spell.
The forms are distorted by emotion, the use of arbitrary colours mainly warm ones, a free brush stroke which does not renounce to some decorativism (Art-Deco stream), the asymmetry, some times the darkness and at other times the light backgrounds, or the intentional playing with spaces... they remind us of influences like Bosch, El Greco or Goya or others closer to us, like Romanticism, (Friedrich), Modernism (Ramón Casas, Klimt), Fauvism and Expressionism. Using these as starting points, the artist creates his own language, which is in constant development through research and evolution.

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
Of course I always loved drawing and paint. When I became to be unemployee and I had some time to paint. I made some exhibitions and built my Site. I spent my money and time in painting. I could sell some artwork in several cities in the world. Now I send my artwork to collectors when someone is interested in. |
