Carlos Rodriguez Diaz has been passionate about art from a young age, developing a deep connection with colored pencils for their vibrancy and precision. Over the years, he’s honed his ability to capture intricate details, using the medium to create works that are both bold and nuanced. While colored pencils remain his primary focus, Carlos also explores other mediums such as charcoal, oil paints, and graphite, constantly pushing the boundaries of their artistic expression. Their work invites viewers into a world where the simplicity of everyday moments is transformed into rich, emotional experiences through careful attention to detail and color.
