About the artist

CARCO

Traveler and watercolorist, I therefore studied Mathematics and Physics in French scientific and engineering schools. I also achieved an Architecture degree where I finally discovered plain air sketching. Since then, I occasionally go painting on my days off. The rest of my life is dedicated to directing major building projects as a Project Manager. My experience led me to work in partnership with famous architects.

Modern colors and materials convinced me that figurative art could still have a new chance nowadays. My work is then figurative, maybe due to my logical, scientific formation. I hope it is also poetic and sensitive. It deals with light, spreading out of natural white on the paper. I always think of the white I am leaving on the paper before painting. Watercolor is such a beautiful, transparent medium!

I participated twice to the Watercolor Festival per le Venezie in Treviso, Italy where two of my works were given an 'excellence award in landscape category', in 2023 and 2024. This watercolor competition has now been organized for two years by Shenxinyuart next to Venice.

I also belong to SVAIF, Société Versaillaise des Artistes d'Île de France, which allows me to participate to an Exhibition in Versailles, France from November 5th of 2024 to November 17th.

I hope you’ll Enjoy!
