Carlos Fentanes

Carlos Fentanes makes work that feels like a Henry Miller sentence—naked, electric, and unafraid.

His drawings and paintings walk the line between hyperrealism and abstraction, revealing the beauty, strangeness, and complexity of the everyday.

Using ballpoint pen, charcoal, and oil, Fentanes renders the world with both precision and abandon.

His work is fueled by instinct, memory, and transformation—each piece an experiment in perception, each mark a risk.

Based in Toronto and born in Mexico City, Fentanes is constantly searching: for truth, for feeling, for the raw moment.
