Carlos Velasquez is an artist from Colombia, currently based in Sydney, Australia. Since 2009, he has exhibited his work in Colombia, the USA, Spain, and Australia. His artistic practice involves experimenting with drawing, video, and photography.
As an essential part of his artistic practice, he believes that art involves contemplating how ideas originate in the subconscious and how they can evolve into shared experiences. This process retains a personal, indescribable quality, with perception at the core of his work. It serves as our natural instrument for translating the phenomena around us and within us.
As an artist, he feels it is essential to create a space for the audience to engage with the artwork. This interaction encourages reflection on what we perceive, how it affects us, and the connections that can be made between the artwork and each viewer.
