Subsign: What was your childhood like? Do you think your experiences from childhood have influenced your present creative endeavors?<\/span><\/p>\n

Carlos<\/span>: My childhood was awesome and funny. As a kid, I struggled to concentrate, but music, drawing and creating stuff or well said destroy electric toys like remote control cars or so, were my favorite hobbies cause I can totally concentrate and enjoy it.<\/p>\n

Subsign: What did you want to be as a grown up?<\/span><\/p>\n

Carlos<\/span>: Electromechanical engineer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Subsign: How does your workstation look like?<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Subsign: Do you have a work style? How would you describe it?<\/span><\/p>\n

Carlos<\/span>: I think that creating a style is, in fact, trying to emulate the reality and plugins from the exterior, every stuff that I can see and feel. Actually, the “style” for me is just part of a long process in which we go through, something subjective and sporadic. Is a copy and a representation of others artists, the nature and worldview of humans.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Subsign: Can you share with us how your creative process works?<\/span><\/p>\n

Carlos<\/span>: Yes, I have always been intuitive and I truly try to be free when I have to illustrate a commission or something personal, first I gather elements of a semantic field and I generate a concept to communicate. Coffee, music, movies and start all over again if it is necessary.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Subsign: What is your favorite work you have done so far?<\/span><\/p>\n

Carlos<\/span>: I enjoy every project while I\u2019m working on it, I don\u2019t get attached to any of them, I put effort and try not to make the same mistakes than before. <\/span><\/p>\n

Subsign: Who do you follow for inspiration?<\/span><\/p>\n

Carlos<\/span>: All the people from all levels that create have a particular contribution for you, I try to learn from all I can see but mostly from all I can understand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Subsign: What advice would you give to someone starting out in the creative field of work?<\/span><\/p>\n

Carlos<\/span>: Try and try and try and try again, experiment, have fun and suffer.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Subsign: If you would have a superpower, what would it be?<\/span><\/p>\n

Carlos<\/span>: Tele-transportation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Subsign: Can you recommend for our readers a book, a song, and a movie?<\/span><\/p>\n

Carlos<\/span>: Yes, of course, is hard to choose only one but “Pedro P\u00e1ramo”, is a beautiful magical universe of Mexico placed in Revolution time.\u00a0“Arab Capriccio” from Fransisco T\u00e1rrega is a song that has accompanied me in several stages of my life and the movie \u201cUniversal Soldier\u201d, haha.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Subsign: If you could throw any kind of party, what would it be like and what would it be for?<\/span><\/p>\n

Carlos<\/span>: Crazy and funny, with live music and a lot of Mexican food \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Subsign: What famous people would you invite to the party and why?<\/span><\/p>\n

Carlos<\/span>: Jesus Christ, Jeffrey Dahmer, Chuck Berry (playing of course),\u00a0cause with them is certain that will be funny and crazy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thank you, Carlos, for being a part of it!<\/p>\n
