An interview with Spanish artist Carlos Azañedo was published in the Spanish newspaper El Mundo

The Spanish artist was interviewed by the Spanish newspaper on 25 November 2025. In the article, Azañedo opens the doors of his studio in Boadilla del Monte (Madrid) and shares insights into his international artistic career and creative process.

Below are some highlights from the interview:

After finishing his degree [in Architecture], he gave himself a year to try his hand at the art world. A limited time frame to determine his entire future. But the signs were pointing him in that direction: “I sent out architecture portfolios where I had included images of my work. When the studios called me, they always ended up interested in my paintings,” he says.

He starts with an initial idea: a landscape, an everyday scene, a fleeting image captured in his memory. But what happens from there is unpredictable. “You think you’re going in one direction, but the work takes you in another. I’m very interested in that element of spontaneity or chance. It’s a real dialogue with the work”, he confesses.

His style is marked by the influence of the Impressionists, but also by a freedom that he had to learn to embrace. “I had some very established mental rules that I had to break down. Painting landscapes freed me,” he recalls.

In recent years, his influence has crossed borders. He observes the US market with interest, where he has already made inroads. “Young Americans have much more artistic culture from an early age than we do, although the younger generations in Spain are waking up to this,” he points out. He values the economic power and diversity of the American market, but argues that Spain is undergoing a change: “More and more people are investing and collecting, which is why I believe that making a living from art in our country is now a reality.” He is an example of this.
