| Carlos Monsalve |

I was born August 17th 1957 in Cali – Colombia, but have lived most of my life in Quito-Ecuador.
I’m a painter, draftsman, sculptor and engraver, a lover of the traditional arts.

| About the Artist |
I was deeply influenced by my visits to museums, mostly by the European Renaissance artist of the XV and XVI centuries. Also my work comes from literature, (I’m an avid reader) and from dreams and mythology. It has been said by critics that the earnings of human beings melt in my canvas, I really like to think that my work can speak to you of many themes and stories that we all can relate to, from dreams you may have had to strong realities portrayed with a little tone of satire. |
