Carlos Azañedo (Madrid, 1990) is a fast-rising contemporary artist who graduated in Architecture with the highest rating, honorable mention, from University in Madrid. His background in architecture has strongly influenced his painting style and technique. He has very personal pictorial language that is expressed through his quick and spontaneous brushstrokes. He does not make previous sketches, but his brushstrokes flow naturally and intuitively from within. Neither does he paint from any specific reference, but is inspired by the memories, experiences, and perceptions he has been internalizing from the outside world. Thus, the artist’s paintings consist of imaginary landscapes he builds in his mind, reflecting the feelings he wants to communicate in that series, and he transfers them directly to the canvas. This process makes each painting exceptionally original, as he seeks to discover a different color palette in each artwork.Carlos describes his paintings as compositions in color, each artwork featuring a unique combination that aims to capture the light, the dynamism, and the specific atmosphere of the scene. Ultimately, the way this artist uses color, light, movement, and perspective makes his paintings both complex and alive.

Exhibited across Spain, and abroad in Europe, the U.S., and Japan. His work has been featured in the media, notably in renowned national and international publications.

Sean's Perspective

"I've worked with Carlos for several years and have watched his paintings evolve from intimate architectural studies into sweeping imagined cityscapes filled with movement and light. What first struck me wasn't simply his technical ability, but his instinct for creating places that feel emotionally familiar despite never having existed."
