The Magical World of Carlos Cairo

The metaphysical paintings, at which the artist has worked for many years, are full of philosophical thoughts: this is how paintings such as "The lonely world of Scopenhauer" and "The Future is behind us" were created. Carlos Cairo's ability is to be able to reduce to symbols the philosophical concepts that he wants to express. The balance of his paintings with his shading off colours, but still rich in contrasts, is fascinating. His paintings shed light and radiations that magically attract the viewer. Cairo creates a very intense atmosphere, this quality earned him the name of "poetical surrealist" both in Italy and abroad. The ability in the use of colour can be seen in his abstract paintings too. Despite being so explosive they are characterized by a wonderful chromatic harmony.
