A Journey Through Fantastical Realms
Born in Costa Rica in 1977, Guillermo Tovar Carazo lives and works in Escazú, creating art that transcends the mundane and explores the supernatural. His Costa Rican surreal paintings draw inspiration from the natural beauty of Costa Rica's landscapes. From lush forests and serene rivers to colorful flowers, Tovar Carazo's paintings infuse these elements with an enigmatic and otherworldly quality.
Cinematic Influences and Supernatural Elements
Tovar Carazo's work is inspired by his childhood fascination with 1980s fantasy movies such as "Gremlins" and "Ghostbusters." These cinematic influences are evident in his paintings, where dragons, crystals, and unnerving new creatures come to life.
His works introduce a sinister edge into otherwise colorful and cheerful worlds, creating a fascinating juxtaposition. Each painting serves as a visual journey full of concealed details, inviting viewers to explore the fine line between daydreams, nightmares, and make-believe.
Costa Rica's Coastal Scenes
In his most recent collection, Tovar Carazo employs his distinctive playful style to portray Costa Rica's coastal scenes. Through his enchanting Costa Rican art, he injects personality into boats bobbing in the water and trees lining the oceanfront.
His compositions hint at human presence, uniquely showcasing the beauty of Costa Rica's shores while creating evocative narratives that resonate on a deeper level.
An Internationally Acclaimed Artist
Tovar Carazo's work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in France, the Seoul Museum of Contemporary Art in South Korea, and La Casa Encendida in Madrid. He has also shown extensively across Costa Rica, most recently at Matices Gallery in San José. His contributions to the art world have solidified his reputation as a leading Costa Rican artist and a prominent figure in Latin American art.
"I'm always searching for ways to surprise myself through my images. If I am going to surprise people, I must surprise myself first," says Tovar Carazo. His dedication to pushing the boundaries of his own creativity is always evident.
