Tributes
Remembering Carlos
Friends, students, neighbours and collectors share what Carlos meant to them. Messages are welcome in English or Spanish.
The tributes below are sample text written for this demo. They are not from real people, and the names are placeholders.
He taught me to paint the light behind the thing, not the thing. I still hear him say it every time I pick up a brush.
Carlos llenaba cualquier cuarto de color y de risa. Su mural en nuestra calle sigue cuidándonos.
We met over coffee in the Jardín and talked about jaguars for three hours. That was Carlos: every conversation became a journey.
His painting hangs over our kitchen table. Guests always ask about it, and we always end up telling stories about him.
Gracias, maestro, por enseñarnos a mirar con otros ojos.
He painted a sun on the wall of our children's school and told the kids it would keep shining after he was gone. It does.
Generous with his time, his paint and his attention. The town is quieter without him.
I bought a small print from him at a street fair years ago. He signed it with a little star. I didn't know then how much it would mean.
