According to the artist, the exhibition 'The geography of dreams' will bring us closer to "that skin that surrounds dreams, a veil over them, that wraps and hugs them, like a sea that always bathes them, thus drawing its shape, that which appears in my paintings ".
It can be visited until November 29, Monday through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Saturdays and Sundays will remain closed.
"We are all trying to typecast, as if we had to be in a defined group, so in each one's own inner and inner evolution to find their" style "that after all is the definition of our own language, I can say that The language of my brushes has been built with the work of the years and with the hours of personal study.Maybe it is a mosaic of styles, of experiences, ... of pieces joined to each other, that when seeing them can be recognized as a style only called Carreño FV.
Most of my works are done on canvas and painted in oil, although this is only the base, the main artery, because I like to add other materials, such as colored cement, mosaic tiles and tiles, acrylic paints, crystals and other materials recycled
I always try to tell a story, that's why the idea always starts from a premise, a concept that I develop and stretch, so it evolves as the work progresses.
Since I started painting I felt a strong admiration for the fast and loose brushstrokes of the Impressionist painters, and it is what I like to do in the backgrounds of my paintings, to which I dedicate a major part in the development of the work, it is the beginning and it is what will make everything merge.
It is common for him to leave spaces unpainted, blank, for me, these spaces are paths to light, which help to unite the work. "
