Carlos León Salazar, 1968 | Watercolour painter

Venezuelan painter Carlos León-Salazar was born in Caracas.

"I am a lawyer by profession, in relation to the arts - self-taught.

For me, art is the need to accompany me since childhood, is a way to express himself, or rather, to find himself through him, as a very intimate and personal appearance, to find himself through art, music and literature. In short, I do creative work, because I like it because I love it.

And when I discovered watercolor, all last time I do it because plastic watercolor is consistent with the sensations and feelings that I experience".
