Dear Art Enthusiasts, Collectors and Friends
I want to thank you all of you who made it possible for me to receive the Honorific GOLD Medal BEST OF OJAI 2026 in the Category “Best Visual Artist of the Year”. I also shared this title with magnificent artist Jeff Sodjka who also got the second Gold Medal.
This is very inspiring… allows me to continue providing Art from the Heart and continue believing, as my Artist Statement declares:
“We as Artists, in all branches and disciplines, are the preeminent voice of both the collective and the individual unconscious. Art brings to the surface, to our awareness, all the processes that run deep, embedded, and often silently ignored within. As the ancient philosopher once said: “The unexamined life is not worth living”.”
I’ll continue trying to match your expectations to bring good, profound, visionary and innovative Art to the global Community for years to come.
Once Again, thank you to trust my Art with this Award.
Wishing you all well,
Carlos
