Carlos torres was born in bogota, colombia in 1955 and found himself interested in the world of art at a very young age. While an anthropology student at Universidad nacional bogota, torres gained a unique perspective on the energy and spirituality of the human condition which ultimately redirected his ambitions. no longer content to merely study the past, he desired to influence the present and contribute to the future and subsequently graduated with a Degree in Fine art.

this unique background and his intimate exposure to the artifacts of the ancients have inspired torres’ unique use of textures, tones and the energetic magnetism that is so palpable in his works. Each of his artistic creations evokes an emotional response from the viewer, a sense of spirituality from deep within, perhaps even the same type of spiritual feeling that carlos himself experienced at dig sites in his native colombia as a student.

“through the language of art, we are able to look at our world with new perspective, for it communicates the subtleties of life to us at their most basic levels.”
