Imagined Worlds: Exploring the Carlos Melguizo Collection assembles and chronicles some of the visions of mankind’s realities, delights, and dreams. A serious and gifted artist himself, Carlos has brought together for this exhibition his own creative works and a selection form his impressive art collection. His admiration for surreal and magical realist art comes through in his painting where clouds and very personal symbolism predominate. His own immersion in painterly creativity has endowed him with a discerning eye and the confidence to acquire art from both well-established masters and those emerging artists he admires. His travels have enabled him to gather together extraordinary pieces made by extraordinary creative minds.”
