Fernando Carballo.


”It is almost a privilege to think that I have been a witness of the picture trajectory of Fernando Carballo…” Once I talked about loyalty to himself when talking about the absolute sense of GENESICA permanence, which characterizes Fernando Carballo’s work It is a cyclic construction that starts from its own view of the universe, perceived as a form transcendence, image absorption, and creation of characters that due to its trace, become people…

We could talk about the cyclic sense of Fernando Carballo’s work transformation… first it is his drawing work, which only a few know, it was made from 1965 to 1970. They refer to a series of drawings and sketches from 1972 that allowed 1972’s exposition to be a public success and imposition of an artistic code after Carballo’s work.”
It is necessary to say that Fernando Carballo is a mature painter, one of the most important artists in Costa Rica and Central America. His work can be admired through a chronological sense, in which quality prevails, achievement of the areas, but that really show how art overcomes reality when it transforms into an absolute expression of the imaginary real. It is only a creator who has imposed his style, define a distance within himself and the rest, and make his work to be a testimony, inner and outer, of almost three decades of personal and artistic life. In that destiny that he has been able to achieve with great dignity is where all his cultural personality and legacy is recognized.
