Carlos Azañedo (Madrid, 1990) is a fast-rising contemporary artist who graduated in Architecture with the highest rating, honorable mention, from University in Madrid. His background in architecture has strongly influenced his painting style and technique. He has very personal pictorial language that is expressed through his quick and spontaneous brushstrokes. He does not make previous sketches, but his brushstrokes flow naturally and intuitively from within. Neither does he paint from any specific reference, but is inspired by the memories, experiences and perceptions that he has been internalizing from the outside world. Thus, the artist’s paintings consist of imaginary landscapes that he builds in his mind, which reflect the feelings he wants to communicate in that series, and which he transfers directly to the canvas. This process makes each of the paintings exceptionally original, as well as the fact that he seeks to discover a different color palette in each artwork.

Carlos describes his paintings as compositions through color, each artwork having a unique combination, which aim to capture the light, the dynamism and the specific atmosphere of the scene. Ultimately, the way this artist uses color, light, movement and perspective makes his paintings so complex, yet so alive.

Exhibited across Spain, and abroad in Europe, the U.S. and Japan. His work has been featured in the media, notably in renowned national and international publications.
