He was the son of a Peruvian diplomat and a French mother. His father’s profession, his artistic formation, and his trajectory led him to live in different countries, but he never lost his Peruvian roots.

From Surrealism to Magical Realism, Carlos Revilla’s works are full of symbols that tell us about his inner world. His painting is also characterized by eroticism and the presence of female figures. In this exhibition we can appreciate portraits and figures which merge with other elements, either technological, organic forms or landscapes, and which we see with an appearance of total normality.
