Carlos Ferrer

Carlos Ferrer, originally from Maracaibo, Venezuela. Today, he is in exile in France...

After the disappointment of having attended university.
After being forced into exile... I discarded everything I had learned, which created more noise than anything else. I embraced my intuition and began an arduous process of subtraction.
Yes! Subtraction... a key word for my life. Which I've turned into my philosophy.
Therein lies the soul of my art.

Inspired by German Expressionism and Japanese Minimalism... I have conceived my style, which takes subtraction to its limits.

In both my photography and my digital printmaking... I use solitude, silence, absence and subtraction as vital elements.
It is absolutely not my intention to follow any trend, or reinvent it... only to express in images what my soul finds sublime.
