Steven Peters Caraballo
Steven Peters Caraballo, born in 1978, is an artist who lives and works in Hasselt. He obtained his master's degree in Graphic Design in Genk in 2001, but since then he has mainly refined painting, which he embraced as a self-taught artist, as the most suitable medium for exploring the creative process and the development of his iconography. With “The Vorce” as his second solo exhibition, Caraballo builds on the appreciation he has already received from renowned artists. His work, which evokes doubt, questions and emotions, has a unique appeal and demonstrates his technical virtuosity. He draws inspiration from his frequent stays in Venezuela, where he is influenced by the local people, culture, politics, nature and religion, all of which are reflected in his paintings. Caraballo's artworks are like windows to another world, where mythical images and connections confuse us and even throw us off balance. His brushstrokes are thoughtful and deep, applied layer upon layer, offering a glimpse into the entire creative process. Every doubt and every random insight that emerged during the process is mercilessly visible in the works.
