Carlos Alberto Quintero: The Art Lover

I am one of those people who believe that there are deep levels that make up we. What I mean is; most people have many areas of interest and it may or may not have anything to do with the field they are most associated with. Although, I find that the people you feel are the most strait laced are the ones who gravitate towards their creative side as their lifeline.

An art investigator and professor; Carlos Alberto Quintero is also a passionate person, father and artist. Born in Colombia, Alberto embraces the roots of his Latin American culture by infusing its elements. Most of his paintings and sculptures can be associated with ‘magical realism’. This is when the mysticism of art blends in with the real world to communicate a sense of the realistic unknown. Sense, touch and sound are just a few sides that motivate Alberto in his work. This Artist’s passion is to seek and reveal the spirit behind his creations by combining love and symbolism onto his canvas.

The color blue (Alberto’s favorite color) represent emotions that helps him achieve harmony, serenity and love; a feeling that sometimes gets lost in today’s turbulent world. Alberto believes he can express his creativity and knowledge fully by using his favorite medium to create in: mixed media.

“I work happy”: True success is the ability to help others, to keep going and to be motivated by the public with joy and appreciation, according to Alberto. I have to admit, His creations truly are the foundation of love that tie individuals together.
