Carlos Amorales is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the boundaries of language and systems of translation, using them as entry points into cultural experimentation. Through graphic production, he develops alternative linguistic structures and working models that open up new possibilities for interpretation and promote collective engagement.
Amorales investigates the processes of identity construction, continually re-signifying the visual forms that recur throughout his work. His practice often stages a dynamic confrontation between art and popular culture, generating tension and dialogue between the two. His research-driven projects are rooted in an expansive repertoire of empirical methodologies, drawing on historical, cultural, and personal references. Working across a wide range of media—including drawing, painting, sculpture, collage, performance, installation, animation, sound art, film, writing, and other non-traditional formats—Amorales blurs disciplinary boundaries in pursuit of complex narratives and layered meaning.
He studied visual arts at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, both located in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
