CURRENT MISSION

The Mission: The First Chapter

ABOUT ME

I am what you would normally define as "a starving artist". I paint, mostly oils, mostly figurative and old-school. I don't live out of my art (yet) so I work to pay the bills and paint as much as I can, depending on the circumstances.

You can see some of my paintings here: http://robert-carreno.tumblr.com

I really like travelling and meeting people from different cultures, but more than going from one place to another, I enjoy staying in places for a longer time, so that I can get to know the culture, people and life there.

I also arrange cultural projects, combining several art forms: music, theatre, short films, poetry...

PHILOSOPHY

Let's talk about philosophy.
