Carlos García (b. 1978) is a versatile creator whose artistic work explores different methods (sculpture, painting, photography, installation, video) from a contemporary perspective through abstract languages, close to Povera Art and Materic Art, in which he combines tradition and innovation.

Within an abstract style but full of symbolism, he has given great relevance to the material substratum of the work. The marked conceptual sense, where the material support transcends its state and provokes a profound analysis, should be highlighted.

Chromatic austerity is a characteristic element of his work: reducing his palette to a very limited range of colours, based on ochres, blacks and reds, with which to create works of great chromatic contrast and powerful visual impact.

He is greatly interested in the use and re-use of materials with a strong industrial stamp, such as corten steel, aluminium, cement and glass, which stand out due to the experimentation, the special, formal and interim analyses, the perception, the theoretical development and the public sphere, as well as delving into new media and technological innovation.

His vital, intellectual and artistic inquisitiveness has led him to explore a large part of the world, where, at the same time, he has developed many of his projects, embracing the essence of each territory, to reinterpret it and decipher it in his works.
