Carlos San Millan is one of my favorite painters. The glow and the chorus of sounds he can pull from a relaxed and informal series of brush strokes is breathtaking. I wrote Carlos and told him about the League, and he agreed to fly here to meet us. The League is thrilled to host Carlos San Millan for two workshops this September. See our member email for registration details.
Carlos San Millan (b. 1969 – Spain) engages with painting through a more conceptual view about the traditional subjects as figure or landscape.
