About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Karolus

France

Karolus, whose name is Carlos C., is a multidisciplinary artist whose passion for the arts is inseparable from his life. A designer, pastel painter and photographer, he finds in artistic expression fertile[...]

Karolus' sources of inspiration are varied, but nature plays a particularly important role in his work. However, it is not limited to a single theme or technique. On the contrary, he constantly explores new artistic horizons, experimenting with different techniques and mediums to enrich his creative approach.

His artistic approach is deeply rooted in the celebration of life in all its forms. Whether by capturing the birth of light in the heart of shadow, paying homage to the diversity of materials or expressing energy through the gestures of artistic creation, his work aims above all to celebrate beauty and the vitality of life.

Karolus regularly shares his art with the public, whether within artistic associations or through individual exhibitions. He is an active member of the Pastel en Dauphiné Association, where he runs thematic workshops and courses. In addition, he is currently in charge of external communication and maintenance of the association's website (pastelendauphine.com). His artistic work is also recognized, since it is registered with the Maison des Artistes and listed as DROUOT, a mark of distinction in the world of art.
