Carlos Doria is an Argentinian American artist based in Washington, DC. He graduated from NYU Thisch School of the Arts with an MFA in theater and film design. While he was working as a designer he discovered printmaking and drawing, exploring intaglio, lithography, silkscreen at Manhattan Graphics and Art Students League and Japanese printmaking MiLab at Kawaguchi-ko and with master carvers and printers in Kyoto. At the moment he focuses his work in lithography, mokuhanga and drawing. He has participated in several residencies and workshops in the US, Japan, Europe and Argentina. His work explores the abstraction of organic shapes inspired by nature. Natural elements such as the stone for lithography, wood for relief printmaking and water and pulp are very important elements in his art making process. He is now experimenting with handmade paper and pulp painting combined with printmaking and drawings. His work has been described as surrealist but he likes to think his work comes as unconscious abstraction of selected images charged with emotion and autobiographic references.
