Carlos Sosa
Applying over 40 years of graphic design experience (i.e. brand identities, corporate communication literature and packaging) to this art-making phase of his career, Carlos Sosa, the designer/artist, introduces his contemporary interpretations of Latin American cultural imagery—including Mexican ceremonial traditions, pre-Colombian tribal petroglyphs (Taino de Puerto Rico), and ornamental pottery symbols. Inspired by the scarcity of more modern art options to proudly display Latino heritage, this work is designed to add a sense of modernism and pride to traditional themes. His mission is to help the viewer reflect on and to celebrate the many layers of traditions, and the price that it sometimes costs families and cultures to maintain and communicate those traditions.
