Carlos Caballero

The artworks of Carlos Caballero unveil a captivating realm where expansiveness and limitation harmoniously converge. Within the canvas’s frame, an enigmatic interplay of forms unfolds. His approach to painting teeters between meticulously structured grid systems, almost expressionistic symbols, and clean-cut geometric shapes. In this creative ballet, he oscillates between contemplative, deliberate moments and spontaneous eruptions that disrupt the rhythm. With precision-crafted schematic forms, he bestows his creations with a graphical allure that is as captivating as enigmatic.

Trained as a graphic designer, Caballero channels his refined sense of typography onto canvases and drawings. Starting in 2015, he embarked on shaping these potent works as a public extension of his daily sketching practice. Concurrently, Caballero employs acrylic on canvas, sculpting meticulous compositions using shapes that serve as the intriguing letters of an indecipherable alphabet.
