Carlos Andrade

Artist and founder of CLAUG, Andrade works with found materials—mirrors, convex lenses, braided synthetic fibers, wood—to create his signature “braided eye” pieces. These works function as portals: organic, tactile structures that hold a central mirror, inviting the viewer into a shifting play of reflection and self-recognition. Andrade also presents a series of mixed-media flower compositions and circular mirrored works that fuse craft, intuition, and symbolic form.
