In
both
life and art
Carlos Cesar Alves, maintains
an harmonious balance
between the
physical world of
daily experiences and
the spiritual domains of
Faith, Ritual, and Beliefs.

when he was young that
he would one day
take up painting”.
- David S.Rubin (Curator, Museum Director)
Carlos was born completely colorblind.
He has a condition known as achromatopsia.

but my life is more colorful than anyone could imagine.”
— Carlos Cesar
Artwork
collection
Black and White
“As an achromat, painting in black and white it should be my normal, but surprisingly it is not .”
Friends
“I gain inspiration from the things that I see on my daily basis through my experiences, memories, and through conversations.”
Works on Paper
\
\
”Each piece reflects a selfless moment of perfect synchronization, in which paper, brush stroke and medium become one.”
Moods
“No two squares have the same texture, color, theme or form, which stimulates the naked eye and stimulates the mind.”
Perception
“ It’s not exactly what you see; in this series, the artist plays with the viewer's Perception”.
Dimensions
“With every change of angle, different dimensions are revealed.”
Vanishing Faces
“ When the concept is questioned, it shows how the impact of those feelings, emotions, life experiences, changes in personality, and expectations have completely changed the face.”
