Rodolfo Carlstein

I was born in Argentina, where art was never a choice — it was the air I breathed. Coming from a family of artists, I have spent more than twenty years painting as a form of exploration, guided not by a fixed destination but by the obsessions that demand to be visited along the way.

My work moves between figuration and abstraction, Surrealism and Pop Art.

At the heart of every canvas is a tension: between chaos and order, between the recognizable and the invented, between the individual body and the forces that surround it. Each painting begins as a journey into uncertainty, and it is precisely that uncertainty — that willingness to follow an obsession without knowing where it leads — that gives the work its life.
