Carlos Santos
Santos is a Mexican artist who lives between Tulum, Quintana Roo and works in his housestudio located in Pueblo Santa Fe in CDMX. In the form of paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations, embroidery or photographs, her work explores the intersections between the human mind and body, the natural environment and industrial matter, as well as the political and aesthetic implications of their social contexts. In his artistic process, Santos draws materials from his urban context, natural environment and/or from his own mind and body. Thus, he examines the expressive possibilities of materials themselves, their vitality and the various ways in which they are physically and discursively transformed.
Santos has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions, both national andinternational, including countries such as Mexico, USA, Germany, Italy, France, Portugal and Japan. His work has been shown in artistic institutions and cultural organizations both public and private, including the Franz Mayer Museum, Museum of Medicine Mexico, Yamakiwa Gallery Japan, Zhou B Art Center Chicago, Miramare Castle in Trieste Italy, Cultural Institute of Mexico in France, Embassy of Mexico in Berlin Germany, Palazzo Lomellini in Carmagnola Turin Italy, Palace of Egypt Oieras Portugal, Embassy of Mexico in rederiksværk Denmark, among others.
