Contemporary fossils

The latest series of sculptures Carlos is creating speaks to us of Time, of life, of organisms that may have inhabited the works.

When he talks about contemporary fossils, he is telling us the story of the passage of time.

A fossil is an organic remains of an animal or plant that has turned into stone, exchanging the order creating the rest of the fossil without any animal having inhabited it before.

He is primarily interested in the external, rigid form and draws inspiration from animal exoskeletons to create his own interpretations, playing with carapaces, shells, or armor as if they were architectural structures that could be inhabited but without losing their organic and natural character.

In the end the soft elements, the fluids are no longer there,

It only lets us see the hard part, the stony, the eternal.
