Carlos Vivar
He is a complete artist, multifaceted and polymorphic, his works and actions prove it. The creative processes are always accompanied by passion and certain influences, in the case of Vivar, the characters that have migrated to the canvases and papers come from many places, real and unreal, allegorical and metaphorical. Painting, drawing, and sculpture have been resources to explore the different possibilities offered by the interpretation of reality. Hence, the characters, shapes, colours, and textures are a reference to the mundane dimension in which Carlos Vivar has moved. We find bulls that remind us of the Minoan past, or current bullfighting; emblematic horses like those of the cathedral of San Marcos; women or goddesses with Mesopotamian forms, the sharp Picasso-like gaze, European architectures, or Homeric vessels. The use of gadgets and bifrontal aspects by his characters who dance on the canvas, like jugglers of a panic theater; cyclists, bullfighters, strollers, are some of the forms that I notice in the vast work of this complete artist.
