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. There is a subtle narration into their paintings, a presence that overlays on viewer’s perception and loads images with tarnished evocation . San Millan was graduated from University of Basque Country School with degrees in painting and design in 1995. He has been featured in solo and group exhibitions in Spain and Latin America.
See below for a smattering of his lovely works. Look at the shine on this spoon!
