Washed Out
I was looking for something new to draw. Something creative and challenging. I knew that I wanted to draw a man’s face, but I didn’t want it to be just a head. As I started to let my thoughts run, I considered how water droplets looked on the face of my cross-country running buddy. I thought about how strange and beautiful the water looked.

About the Author
Carlos was born in Guatemala City, Guatemala, in 2001, and adopted into the USA as an infant. While growing up, he fell in love with the arts. Carlos graduated from high school in 2018. Being a Christian artist, his creativity is focused on the things that reflect God because Carlos knows that God is the source of his God-given talent. His journey into art began with doodling and drawing patterns. Next, he drew cartoon characters, then moved on to vehicles and animals. Carlos also explored fantasy art and the color palette. During 2013-2017, he practiced drawing and painting to improve his technique. He discovered that he can always get better and it is not enough to stop at “just good”. With each new work of art, he wants to achieve more, strive for more, reach for more. Drama, scuba-diving, dancing, horse riding, snow-skiing, water-skiing, music, and singing were all a part of opening his mind to God’s creative world around him. Carlos also enjoys teaching art classes and illustrating books. Carlos feels that God blessed him for a reason, so he chooses to live with a passion for the arts. His goal is to start a school for teaching the arts and life skills to children.
