about Carlos Andrade

Lisboa, 1968

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.

about the artist's works

Carlos Andrade seeks to highlight the peculiar qualities of the material and to detach marble from its natural solidity.

Respecting the limits of the material, the marble itself makes him follow a path governed by it and its fragility.

The skin to which this rock is reduced reflects the soul of the marble, establishing a similarity with the human being and recalling the traditional conception of the body as the structure of the soul. As the artist himself tells us: "In this epidermis, which is often the result of a process where accident and decline are the aesthetic result, a flow is created that lives to the rhythm of the movement of form and light where the fragility of the stone serves as a metaphor for the human."
