Biography
Carlos Estrela was born on Terceira Island, in the Azores, but early left for Canada, where he spent his childhood. He was attracted by drawing and painting, as soon as his hands touched a box of crayons. Back in the Azores at the age of 9, he grew up next to the sea and the seismic earth that stubbornly shakes.
Throughout his life, and as far back as he can remember, he has always been fascinated by color and trying to represent the world in an abstract and timeless way, alienated and aware at the same time. The interest in painting was cultivated during adolescence and deepened later while taking a degree in Information Technologies where he came into contact with museums and contemporary art exhibitions as a student.
The love for the raw textures of nature and the architecture that is reflected in the landscape around him catapults to the canvases in experiences that are confused between reality and the ethereal, in an almost poetic narrative that claims the origins of the islands, in a collaboration between the artist and the land (the “cerrados" of the Azores). He believes he will always be ART for those who admire him as he sees ART in everything and everyone he admires.
