A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Carlos Bellorin is a Latinx, Toronto based artist, heavily inspired by hip hop culture & street culture. Carlos specializes in both oil & acrylic painting. Carlos completed his BFA at OCAD University and majored in Drawing & Painting. Much of his work and style are influenced by music, pop culture, his environment & experiences.

ABOUT MY PROCESS
Current Work
I am currently working on a new series giving praise to some of the most iconic, legendary rappers in the game- old and new. The series takes inspiration from Andy Warhol and his love of pop culture. Each piece will be reminiscent of magazine covers. The series is also an exploration of a new style I am developing as I continue to search for my individuality and signature style as an artist.
