Introduce Carlos Enfedaque, a Berlin-based painter from Zaragoza/Spain. Cover picture: A las trece horas.
He was born in 1994 and studied Fine Arts at the University of Zaragoza, the ARCA-EUAC University of Arts in Coimbra/Portugal and the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia San Carles in Valencia/Spain, where he graduated in 2016. After finishing his Masters program in 2018 he moved to Berlin where he’s based ever since. His work has been exhibited at such venues as SETAREH Berlin, Galería Nueva in Madrid or “Las Naves” Centro de Creación Contemporánea in Valencia.
Carlos‘ main medium is oil on linen. His paintings, consist mostly of human figures and portraits, his interest lies in the ambiguity of identity, playfully questioning the perception of the viewer. He believes in painting as an impulsive and intuitive act in order to create a fresh and direct expression.
In his paintings Carlos Enfedaque deconstructs the motif represented in several complementary tones. Allowing himself to be guided by light and the way in which it transforms faces and bodies, the painter walks through them as if it were a landscape. Enfedaque adds ambiguity reminiscent of the imagery of the Berlin queer club scene by placing the characters in his paintings in liminal and colouristic atmospheres.
