This work was inspired by the installation Cloud I Meteoros, by London-based artists Lucy and Jorge Orta, which is displayed at Saint Pancras Tran Station in the British capital. Art Inventory I is a nostalgic look at the old but ironically, not all compositional elements belong to that period. Thus, we see the inclusion of contemporary art objects, which in my view support the subject matter and properly integrate into the overall setting. In the far left bottom lies a contemporary mask. Beside it is a Greek mask and anchored to its right is the Egyptian King Tut's Death Mask. I gently tipped a fragment of Beijing's National Centre for Performing Arts building, better known as the Beijing Egg towards the left. Then I perched Bent of Mind (2005), a marble sculpture by British artist Tony Gregg on top it. Both things were done to create the illusion of this piece being quietly admired by the masks underneath. A triumphal sphere of polished stone emerges out from Bent of Mind. On top of the stone, I placed a Japanese ceramic crown to represent sovereignty while the entire image stands against a cold arctic landscape in the background. The slight tilt of the geometric figure, similar to a globe, is symbolic of how the world rotates on its axis. Copper plate etching with aquatint and embossing printed on 300 gm Pescia paper. The image size is 21 H” x 15.5 W”. The paper size 30 H” x 21 W”. It doesn't come matted or framed.

Carlos A Delgado is a Cuban-born artist based in Union City, Georgia - a suburb of Atlanta. An artist since his youth, he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in sculpture from the University of the Arts of Cuba, but even as recently as a few years ago, never entertained the idea that he might live, study and work in the United States. Having spent more than 26 years away from academic life and overcoming seemingly insurmountable financial and political barriers, in 2013, Mr. Delgado became the first Cuban national to attend Savannah College of Art Design in Atlanta, Georgia. It had been his life-long dream to pursue a Masters of Fine Arts in Printmaking. He completed the program in two years emerging as the Class of 2016 Excelsus Laureate recipient. Before moving to the U.S. Carlos worked as a Master Screenprinter for the world famous Taller Artístico de Serigrafía René Portocarrero (Fine Art Screen Printing Studio) in Havana, Cuba. There he had the opportunity to work with and advise some of the best-known serigraphy artists of our time's such as Robert Rauschenberg, Julio Le Parc, and Mimo Rotella to name a few. Inspired by Escher, Chirico, and Dali, Carlos creates optical illusions and whimsical, surreal worlds with recurrent architectural motifs. He practices painting, serigraphy, copper etching, lithography, photogravure, aquatint, and sculptor. Mr. Delgado primarily focuses on century-old techniques with some infusion of modern technologies. Carlos has always believed that from birth he could have been only two things – an artist or an architect. A student of English, French and German languages as well, Carlos continues his emergence as a dedicated master printmaker and as a mentor in the visual arts at large.
