About the artwork

Carlos Almenar Díaz creates with colour and visual rhythm that instinctively connect with each other.

'Colour expresses personality, generates emotions and feelings. For me, the notion of fragmentation is applied in our real-life situations that have to do with the relationships between us and our environment. I am seeking a point of focus with the colours I use, and a visual interaction between each fragment of the artistic composition and the observer. The colourful artwork creates a different layer added to our routine spaces, giving an enriching value to our everyday lives.'
