Author
At the age of 12, Carlos Pelestor had his first encounter with painting when he discovered art materials at his grandfather's house. Before devoting himself full-time to artistic production, Carlos Pelestor dabbled in other disciplines, such as civil engineering and teaching in the field of physics and mathematics. In 1977, he rekindled his interest in art, focusing on creating landscapes with delicate technique in which perspective and color work give each of his pieces a unique personality. He currently resides in Vierzon, France, where he continues to produce artworks, blending the inspiration of the Mexican land with that of the Gallic country. Source consulted: VELÁSQUEZ, Esther.
