Carolina Vargas Reis

My work is a compilation of emotions and life experiences based on a contemporary perspective.
My canvases are often a combination of drawing, painting, waxing and collaging. I believe on experimenting with materials, textures and colours mother earth has given us.
Through my art I explore my own experience on social, political and emotional issues in the form of paintings or photographs. My creation also includes a series of books, which I have titled "What I See". My books are a visual diary, my life though my camera lens.
Within my art, a variety of characters interact amidst an eclectic array. These people, animals, places, shapes and objects have influenced my life... some more than others. It is from their inner drama, their passions and beliefs, or better yet, it is from their own being, that my soul feeds off to give life to my character.
