Description

There are paintings that seem to breathe with life, as if each color held a fragment of the earth’s memory. Mediterranean Flora, by Guatemalan artist Irene Carlos, is one of those works where abstraction and nature intertwine in perfect harmony — a visual symphony of roots, petals, and whispers of light.

In this fine art print, every gesture recalls the warm, tactile presence of the Mediterranean, with its sunlit textures, ochre sands, and soft beige hues that radiate calm and nostalgia. Delicate figurative traces of plants and flowers emerge through layers of color — deep blues, light greens, glowing yellows, and vibrant orange tones — giving the composition both structure and breath. Subtle black strokes add shadow and depth, creating a rhythm that invites the viewer to wander through the canvas like through a dreamlike garden.

Irene Carlos transforms the act of painting into a spiritual dialogue with nature. Her process — intuitive and organic — is guided by what she calls “the emotional resonance between the artwork and the soul.” In Mediterranean Flora, that resonance becomes a sensation of peace and renewal, an echo of sunlight and wind translated into pigment and texture.

The composition, though abstract, carries the gentle memory of the tangible — leaves that move, petals that open, and an invisible vibration that connects the viewer with the cycles of life and transformation. Each fine art print on canvas preserves the energy of Irene’s original gesture, allowing collectors to experience the poetry of her work in exquisite detail.

In the context of And-Art Works, Mediterranean Flora embodies the essence of contemporary Latin American art — where the spiritual, the organic, and the emotional coexist in a timeless visual language. Irene Carlos does not simply paint what she sees; she paints what vibrates within her, and in that vibration, we rediscover our own connection to the natural world.

Artist

Irene Carlos

Irene Carlos was born in Guatemala City in 1955. She specializes in Painting, Textile Art and Photography. Irene began her artistic studies in 1975 at the Massana School in Barcelona, after the 1976 earthquake in Guatemala, she returned to her country of origin and became a volunteer in a rescue team in the indigenous community of San José Poaquil. She did not return to Barcelona and continued her training with the theater director Yaco Gigi, from the Argentine group Once Al Sur. His influence is decisive, since she works in puppet design and everything related to behind-
the-scenes artistic production.

The creative and bohemian environment in her childhood was the spur that leads her to develop her creative path, since she shares with her siblings Ana Carlos, a film director and producer, and her brother Luis Carlos, one of the most renowned Central American sculptors, a love for the visual arts.

She began her work in art, through textile fibers, dabbling in the high smooth technique and her works started to become three-dimensional. For 10 years she has dedicated herself to exhibiting her tapestries in national and international galleries.

It was the teacher Elmar René Rojas, an internationally renowned Guatemalan painter, who took her to investigate the pictorial world, thanks to being part of the "Itzul" group, which is integrated into the workshop of Rojas.

With more than twenty solo exhibitions, Irene follows her artistic passion, adding elements of her spiritual practice into her work. As a Buddhist practitioner, she unites her philosophy of life by capturing her paint on canvas or the fibers on her tapestry, directing her attention to the present moment, as a meditative form of unification between spirit and matter.
