Text Box: Originally from Peru, César Carrasco has been living in Neuchâtel for many years now.   From childhood to the present, César has developed an artist's soul. He began by studying the piano, then the guitar. He is an accomplished writer-producer of his own works; his voice matches the beauty of his words. He is presently trying to find a sound studio to record a CD of his songs.   After music, César turned toward the visual arts. He paints exclusively in oils and it is clear that the artist who most inspired his own works is Van Gogh.   His paintings are foreceful, with saturated colors, often directly from the tube, and usually remind the viewer of his native country in their sunny warmth. Unfortunately, he has, little by little beco Text Box: me allergic to the chemical products used in cleaning the oil paint from his brushes. For this reason, he has turned to oil crayons/pastels, which he can deal with using his fingers alone.   Some time ago he began playing with clay and air-drying modeling clay.  He is a bit of a scrooge concerning his little sculptures, refusing to let them go and rarely exhibiting them. They represent his way of asking the basic questions concerning life and what has happened to him, both good and bad.   César now works full time at Objectif Réussir in the Bevaix train station as a reporter for the Street Newspaper published by this association. Bit by bit, he is also taking over the layout of the paper.  His articles are very piercing in their perception of the world around him and his adopted country, Switzerland. Œuvre CESAR CARRASCO
