Carlos SepulvedaI was born in Bogota Colombia, not too long ago (hee hee), raised in Australia and now reside in Pasadena California.
Coming from a family of eight, a Colombian Mother, a Chilean Father and six siblings made for a fun and interesting upbringing. My affinity for art commenced at an early age. Although my Father worked in business machines, both my parents were very artistically talented in oil paintings, ceramics and sculpture, this was most definitely a great source of inspiration for me and my siblings, who are excellent artists in their chosen mediums. Although these parental artistic influences were pivotal to my development, it could be said that I was for the most part, self-taught. At the age of three, my preferred medium was spaghetti sauce and a wall, since then my preferences have evolved to oil paints, pencils and pastels. If I could describe the style of art that I prefer, it would be probably classified as super-realism although I would like to experiment with a more ‘painterly’ style that shows heavier raw brush strokes. Thank you for allowing me to share a small slice of ‘me’ and I hope you enjoy my art as much as I enjoy creating it. |
