Carlos Aquilino was born in Madrid, Spain, the city where he lives and works today. He grew up painting, drawing and sculpting as a self-taught artist. Aquilino’s paintings, executed in oil on both canvas and cardboard, are focused in a humanized world where people appear deeply in touch with their surroundings. Typically using a limited number of striking colors, Aquilino’s works are immediately recognizable by their daring yet subtle narratives and messages. Aquilino’s art is also not influenced by the current trends of contemporary art, giving his overture a timeless quality.
