Why Did You Become An Artist:
I always loved drawing and painting. Its a natural part of me, fever that I can not get off, parallel world that occupies part of my thoughts, shapes and colors that excite my mind, defiant random, hidden passion, writting stories through images that unexpected are poured ... I have to deal all that with and share my existence with my paintings and drawings. They are also an invitation to imagine and participate in alternative realities wher colours and forms are free and diferent. Its a proposition of freedom. Painting is an open door for entering and set free oneself. I am saying to other people come in, be free. I conceptualize art as a kind of communication, one key for quiting chains and beguin to walk whith no fear to imagine. Carlos Pardo
Personal Biography
Born in 1968 in Ferrol province of La Coru�a, SPAIN.
Artistically autodidact, always willing to learn and investigate new fields and graphic expression techniques.
I have always been fascinated by drawing, painting and all kinds of Arts in general. I started off using black pencils, adding Indian ink afterwards, and then colours.
In January 2000 I opened my first personal website ... just only 28 works. June 2004 I opened my studio, sharing a floor with other painters. In 2011 I moved and established my own studio in Santiago de Compostela, Spain
My works are present in private collections both in Spain and abroad Malta, Belgium, Argentina, France, Norway, Austria, Portugal, USA, Sweden or Singapore.
For years, aware of the great impact of social networks, I am present in Theartstack, Facebook, Flickr, Instagram ...
It is not easy to stay on the road but growing day by day.
Open to new projects, commissions and collaborations with galleries in Spain and other countries.
