Gerardo Carsolio

Gerardo has always been attracted to nature. As a child he loved to study flowers, leaves, seeds, landscapes, and anything else that caught his eye during frequent hikes in the diverse Mexican countryside. At a very young age Gerardo developed a passion for woodworking. A self taught furniture maker, carver, and painter he learned through self exploration how to do this difficult work with his hands, his work evolve into a unique combination of painting and carving.

By using wood as his canvas Gerardo´s art focuses on exploiting the natural beauty of this material and bringing the hues, grains, and textures into balance in the whole composition in a way that is unexpected. Light is the final component when appreciating a piece of Gerardo´s art, completing the image by showing the detail of the carving portion of the painting, and letting the spectator experience and immerse himself into the realm of the work.
