About Carlos Silva
BORN (1971) AND EDUCATED IN CALI, COLOMBIA, CARLOS SILVA FIRST STUDIED ARCHITECTURE AT THE UNIVERSIDAD JAVERIANA IN BOGOTA. HE THEN MOVED TO BERLIN IN 1999.
CARLOS' ABSTRACT PAINTINGS ARE STRONGLY INFLUENCED BY THE GEOMETRY OF SPACE. SOMETIMES, HIS INSTALLATIONS DIRECTLY INTERACT WITH THE SURROUNDINGS OF THEIR EXHIBITION. WHILE GEOMETRY AND CLASSICAL RULES OF COMPOSITION SERVE AS A FRAMEWORK, THE ACTUAL BRUSHSTROKE IS LEFT TO THE INTERPLAY OF CHANCE AND CONTROL, MUCH IN THE SAME WAY AS IN THE ANCIENT ART OF CALLIGRAPHY. MOREOVER, THE ELEMENTS OF COLOUR AND PLASTICITY AND THE SUBTLE NUANCES THEY CREATE, PLAY A CENTRAL ROLE IN EACH WORK'S IMPACT.
