Carlos Andrade (Lisbon, 1968) holds a degree in Art History at the Universidad Autónoma de Lisboa. Influenced by the conception that leading figures such as Brancusi have of marble, he explores the material and develops his artistic production in which symbolism takes on an essential role. Andrade transforms the robust marble into delicate layers of stone that allow light to pass through them. In this way, the hazardous movements of his stone compositions are evidence of a purely organic artistic process guided by the material itself.

He has participated in solo and group exhibitions, including Galeria Bogaard art (Helmond, Holland), Museu Municipal de Estremoz, 'Esculturas e outros objetos' (Trema, Lisbon) and Centro de Arte Contemporânea da Amadora.

His work is represented in Portugal, Spain, France, Brazil and the United States.
