Carlos Delgado is a Colombian artist with international recognition living between Colombia and Canada. His works explore a multitude of expressions and ranges of human interaction with the environment, with each other and with the societal system. Focusing on capturing the subtleties of the tension of daily routine and a deeper human expression, his work becomes not only a social commentary but also a societal reflection of how we create the world around us and our role within it.

 

He is fascinated by the way human beings express themselves and relate to one another within our modern systems. The environment that the artists is, including all of the cultural and social aspects, are the influences and the subjects of his work. Within these systems he tries to find the human elements, those subtle expressions of our emotions, experiences and stories which make us unique and yet at the same time connect us to each other. Through his abstract portrait works, he focuses on the subtle way these human experiences are expressed, be it in our facial gestures, in the way we occupy and share space with each other or the way we present ourselves to the world.
