Carlos came to Costa Rica 10 years ago to pursue his dream of diving. Seeing as many of the wonderful tropical fish and sea life as he did the paintings came alive. Most are painted from the perspective of the bottom of the ocean floor.

The colors and vibrancy are so eye catching that he refuses to do prints for, as he says, "There is no lack of material for me to paint". The Pacific Ocean here is is teeming with sea creatures.

Oil on canvas is the medium and large scale is what this young artist does best. He resides in the Guanacaste region where diving is plentiful. Many murals in that region bear his signature.
