On the edge Painting

Carlos Franco (°1987, Managua, Nicaragua) is an artist who mainly works with painting. Graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Miami. By taking daily life as subject matter, he explores the lost spaces of our surrounding. His paintings reference recognizable landscapes transmuted into a color field through the abstractions of hues. The result is a deconstruction of an environment ignored. By exploring the concept of landscape in this fashion, his images become a moment of extraction and addition, created through the layering of varnish as the painting progresses. His works explore to challenge conceived notion that everyday existence is mundane. Carlos Franco currently lives and works in Sauce, Uruguay.
