Love, Hope & Devotion: Carlos Barrios

Carlos takes off humanities’ clothes and people look normal, honest of intent and decent .. dignity prevails and resides in his world.

He looks under the surface and freely paints the spiritual connection between, women, men, children and animals, including imaginary figures in the pool of life.

Negativity does not present itself in his world, the dead and death is simply a reality of existence, a life factor, part of the cycle of birth and an inevitable end for all of us.

Family, life experience, life passion, soul and love are his forms of expression. Thereby we are visually and emotionally drawn to his universal ‘family of man’.

Carlos’s paintings and ceramic works make ‘living life’ desirable. They are colourful and evocative. They have a truth to them, and often his ceramics express with humour the playfulness of a child.

With his feet on the ground, and his eyes in the Heavens, Carlos brings life connections between people close, as one with a big heart would in an idyllic village.

Carlos’s works express, the depths of human hearts, and all that lives, as loving partners.

In some works he expresses part of life as a mysterious spirit world.

One of the things about great artists are that they are recognisably unique, well Carlos’s works certainly are!
