Carlos Soto-Colombia

I was born in Buga Valle Colombia. I have been interested in art since I saw the art of impressionist painters such as Paul Cezanne, Monet, and Renoir at an early age. While in my native land, I took some art classes to further my appreciation for art.  I moved to Tampa in 1981 and started sharpening my oil painting skills under the direction of the Colombian artist Yolanda Suarez in the late nineties.  I have been participating in several art shows in the Tampa area as follows: Expressions of Art HCC Dale Mabry Campus Art Gallery-September 2008, Celebrating our Heritage at Teco Plaza Hall – October 2008, Spring Extravaganza at The Tower At Westshore – March 2009, Expressions of Nature and the Marine Habitat  The Florida Aquarium – March 2009, 3rd Calendar Art Contest of the Hispanic Alliance 2008-2009, Spring Blast Art Exhibit at the Towers At Westshore – March 2011, Unidad at Ana Mendez University Systems – October 2011,  Energy of Nature at Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) – October 2011, Celebrating Life in Color at The Towers At Westshore – December 2011, The Down of Spring at The Towers At Westshore – March 2012, Passion and Promise at The Bunker Restaurant – April 2012, Dream of Winter at The Towers At Westshore – December 2012, Soul of Spring at The Towers At Westshore – March 2013, Beautiful Spring at Towers At Westshore – March 2015.
