CARLOS TERRÉS
M ost of the works of the prolific artist Carlos Terrés are inspired by
pre-Hispanic art. He infuses Mayan and Aztec ideas into Western realism.
Nevertheless, his art extends from the European roots of the classic art, of
the Baroque, and goes to the magical and the symbolic, the Apollonian and
the Dionysian. They are, therefore, the paradigms, that with talent and genius,
Terrés transforms through the magical symbiosis of his craftsmanship with his
talent, in art.
His paintings, sculptures, and leaded glass are found in churches, rounda-
bouts, government buildings. The work of Terrés is also found and shown in
the U.S.A. Guatemala, Costa Rica, Argentina, Canada, Germany, Italy, Israel,
Spain, Portugal, Czech Republic and Japan, among other countries.
