Carlos Fdez (Penrider)
Artist Bio: Born in Madrid in 1980, it wasn’t until 30 years later that I started drawing and on a short time it took up most of my energy, perhaps that feeling of making up for lost time has pushed my determination in this first decade.
Without taking official studies in Fine Arts, I learned to draw by doing some illustration and comic courses at the Higher School of Professional Drawing in Madrid (ESDIP) and especially in a self-taught way, investing many hours.
Specialized in pencil drawing, my art tries to describe mysterious atmospheres through delicate blurred, with a surreal and dark thematic through which I want to represent dreams and feelings. I am interested in the loneliness of the misunderstood, I love nature, animals and outer space.
Always try to tell a small story with an open end to different interpretations to involve the viewer.
Obtained some visibility and helped by social networks I have participated in different group shows culminating this year with my first solo exhibition at Haven Gallery in New York.
I just want to continue drawing and painting some oil.
