[style: abstract/impressionism/landscape]
Carlos Pereira, Jr. was born and raised in Houston, Texas. At the age of six, he began experimenting in oil and acrylic paints with his mother, a renowned artist from Puerto Rico and an art professor. His father, also from Puerto Rico, played a role in helping to craft the techniques and aesthetic skills that influenced Carlos' career. He went on to study architecture and after earning his degree, his artistic abilities on canvas began to capture the attention of a larger audience. In 2013, Carlos moved to Alaska and is the home of his art studio. His artwork spreads around the world, with pieces in London, Finland, Norway, India, and the United States to name a few.
His style is defined as abstract, impressionism, post-impressionism, and landscapes. The language behind most of his landscape art is heavily influenced by Alaska, the serenity and beauty that is made up of lush mountains and pine trees. His abstracts are a form of communication that touch on his personal experiences, vivid dreams, and is influenced by sounds and music.
Carlos currently resides in Alaska with his wife and daughter. He is a member of the Rice Design Alliance at the Rice University School of Architecture, NALAC (National Association of Latino Arts & Culture), board member for AIGA Alaska, and a member of the American Institute of Architects Alaska chapter.
“ My art is a soliloquy of tales from personal experiences. Through this channel of thought, I wish to capture an audience that is intrigued by my story.”
