His upbringing on an island of volcanic origin and activity allowed him immediate contact with the sea and fire, elements that are evident in his work. He studied at the prestigious Slade School of Fine Art in Lisbon and London, and his painting evolved into a style where landscape and the animal world are recurring themes, treated with a complex simplicity. The frequent use of white as the dominant color expresses his search for the essential and for purity. For Urbano, art is a process of reduction until only what is fundamental remains. ##### Learn more about the artist --- ## Carlos Carreiro: Stories in Color *Irony and pop imagery meet in this corridor, revealing a vibrant vision of identity and everyday life.* **Suspended People, 1986** Screen printing on paper 68/125 Edition No. 68/125 35 x 50 cm **Untitled, 1986** Acrylic on canvas 80 x 110 cm This work is a vibrant representation of the mythical Atlantis, finding inspiration for its narrative and colorful composition in the landscapes and mystery of the Azores. **Regarding Marriage, 1979** Acrylic on canvas 79.5 x 90 cm Carlos Carreiro • b. 1946 Born in Ponta Delgada, Carlos Carreiro is a master of narrative figuration.
