Gerardo Carsolio

Gerardo Carsolio was born in Mexico City, the sixth child in a family of seven kids. Gerardo has spent his life observing, studying and learning to become the artist that he is today.

At a very young age Gerardo developed a passion for woodworking. A self-taught furniture maker, carver and painter he learned through trial and error how to do this difficult work with his hands.

Gerardo continued to hone his skills while earning a degree in textile engineering and at the same time pursuing an interest in languages; he would go on to learn French, Italian, German and English.

After moving to Canada, almost 10 years ago, Gerardo started to combine his skills and experiment with different media, evolving his work into a unique combination of carving, painting and woodworking.

Landscapes, gardens and the natural beauty of Alberta all impact Gerardo’s creative process and drive him to create beautiful works of art.
