Carlos Burgos
Carlos Martyn Burgos (born 1978) was brought up within two cultures -
in the United Kingdom & El Salvador - that helped fuel and form his
imagination and outlook of the world around him, his work shows the
combination of these two worlds.
Carlos M Burgos is a figuarative artist exploring aspects of the way
we live and our emotions. But not necessarily the obvious outward
appearances and goings on, but those within. An often surreal look of
how we interact within this environment with traces of satire. Carlos
offers an alternative glimpse of the urban world around us. Images
that manifest themselves through our feelings, opinions and social
environments but are not always acknowledged. A conceptual realism.
Presenting the world solely from a subjective perspective, distorting
it for emotional effect to evoke moods or ideas, meaning or emotional
experience.
Drawing inspiration from social history, literature, music,
conversations and general popular culture. Fusing elements of the
classical, the expressive, the sureal, beauty, darkness and his love
of the human form.
