About Artist
I'm a mostly self taught artist based out of the Pacific Northwest. I have a keen interest in the artistic styles and mediums of the past, whether that be silver-point, watercolor on ivory, or scrimshaw and watercolor. I want to express a modern sensibility with traditional mediums and styles using realism and the human form.
Time passes by so quickly, that it inspires Carlos Morales to freeze a moment through his art. He paints a scene from the city of Lima, with its ageless domes and bell towers in the distance. In the foreground, what once was a brand new, coveted car, now it's reduced to scrap, with chains keeping the doors together and bricks where tires used to be. "Humans share the same destiny," observes the Peruvian artist. He paints with watercolors, carefully detailing twisted metal and shiny church cupolas.
Titled "Los años que se van" in Spanish.

The painting seeks to allow an audience to create their own narrative to the male and female subjects. What is happening? Why cover the eyes and mouth? What are their functions? I would hope the questions lead to other questions to create a scene or moment for the viewer.
