Popularly known as the cloud painter, Carlos Nariño seeks to offer a sense of vastness and freedom in his oil paintings. Through a low horizon, almost on the bottom rim of his canvases, and with a slight strip of land, Nariño’s paintings invite one to dream, to play the game of clouds, to fly, to imagine, to enter the poetic homage the artist pays to both Colombian and European landscapes.
Living for the past 30 years in Paris, Carlos Nariño is one of those painters who continues and retains the tradition of a flawless pictorial technique, combining backgrounds, colors and delicate brushstrokes to create works of art with the highest subtlety and quality. Few contemporary artists pursue this type of painting, one with a great sense of aesthetics, composition and love towards a form of expression and theme that are far from disappearing: painting and landscapes.
Carlos Nariño lives and works in Paris France since 1988.
