About

 

Lourdes Carlos​

​

My passion for drawing and painting began at a young age and I can't recall a time in my life when my heart didn't see art in every day life. 

​

I am a California based ARTist and mostly self taught. I attended CSULB and was enrolled in the BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) program for Drawing and Painting and reached my upper division courses. Being an artist, to me has been about connecting creatively with the purpose of feeling at peace while creating art. ​For me, art has always been about feelings and emotions. I am currently a Certified Art Practitioner or as I like to call myself an Art Wellness Coach. My goal is to help others heal emotionally and reduce the stress of every day life through art. 

 

As an artist, it has always been very difficult for me to sell or part ways with my paintings, mainly because I have always been emotionally attached and connected to my paintings. My inspiration comes from feelings, color, contrast and texture. My favorite art of all is abstract expressionist art. I love the diversity of all the colors and how much emotion an artist can show in a piece. This is the art that I can pour my feelings into without saying a word... I let the emotions tell their own story on the canvas.

​​As an artist, I not only want to create art, I want to help others by using art as an outlet to everyday life, creating a safe space for letting go with Art. I want you to feel the emotions while creating art. ​
