"THE LIGHT OF YOUR GAZE" by Miquel Galceran, painter. (2003)
Carlos Díaz's canvases create an atmosphere in which, through the use of subtle textures and a condensed chromatic palette, images emerge impregnated with deliberate silence and absence. The artist becomes an integral part of the artwork, physically within it, reflecting his personality. The artistic result is marked by great talent, strength, and sensitivity.
His paintings offer multiple interpretations. One approaches them with a relaxed gaze and departs from them with the same state of mind. His urban landscapes, both exterior and interior, feature constructive elements: a door, a window, a building, graffiti on a wall—constant codes and symbols in his work. In these images, the artist's retina captures the pulses emanating from within, later returning them to his gaze and finally onto the canvas.
The observer perceives the work, and gradually, with more looks and contemplation, begins to understand the artist's world. This is evident in Carlos's way of painting—in his choice of subject, format, and technique, all of which shape his personal language and are instantly perceived.
Within them, there is a plastic discourse waiting to discover and open up to new concepts without breaking with the past. There's continuity, a common thread: the light of your gaze. Carlos Díaz seeks to engage the viewer with his painting, in an act of complicity, and intelligently question what is missing from our light... The light of your gaze.
