Catalina Carrasco is among the “New Wave” of artists who have embraced new, innovative and multidisciplinary techniques to create their art. But there is no doubt that Catalina is a Master of her discipline, well known in the Cuenca, Ecuadorian and international art scenes, especially in the US and France. She is also known for heritage restoration and artistic direction in the performing arts.
There is really nothing that Catalina can’t do and you will learn that when you meet her (if you haven’t already) and see her latest works. Catalina hails from a legacy of fine art, inherited from her father, renowned artist Edgar Carrasco, and her mother Azucena Vintimilla.
We will be transported to the artists’ compound where Catalina and Azucena make their art. Their property must be seen to be believed. Nestled off the road on a lush green hillside in Tarqui, the place looks and feels magical. It beckons you to explore the treasures within. you may not want to leave!
Before heading out to their place, let’s meet at Casa Azul (Parque San Sebastian) to check out their family-friendly exhibition featuring Catalina, Azucena and Sebas Carrasco. All three have very distinct styles, with paintings, collages, and works on metal.
