Carlos Encinas, El Tiradito (Love Triangle ) acrylics on birchwood, 34" x 45" 2022

from $550.00

Carlso Encinas is an  experimenter at heart. What you will find connecting all of his  works in different series are variations on the theme of water. More specifically, the memory of water.Carlos tries to find endless ways to express this memory of water through drawings, paintings and sculpture.

For more than a decade, Carlos has  worked primarily with resins, paint and oil ink on Plexiglas. The interesting thing about combining traditional materials with industrial materials is that he is always trying out new combinations and textures that often lead me to invent processes and forms no one else does. The resulting work can be deceptively simple but is often very intricate and involved. He  likes  the contrast in his  work between the quiet, the bold and the ethereal.
