Carlos Simpson
Carlos Simpson is an entrepreneur, artist, designer, musician, and author based in London, United Kingdom.
Creative Philosophy
Carlos Simpson began dedicating his life to the arts at the age of five. His creative practice did not follow a traditional academic or technical training path. Instead, it developed through experimentation, observation, and a sustained commitment to authenticity.
His work is grounded in self-expression and the belief that creative integrity can contribute to cultural awareness and human understanding.
Early Influences and Development
Growing up without contact with his family played a significant role in shaping his worldview. Imagination became both a personal refuge and a creative tool. These early inner constructions later evolved into a structured engagement with art, culture, and philosophy.
Artistic and Conceptual Focus
Carlos Simpson’s work operates as an anthropological and philosophical inquiry into the human condition. Central themes include identity, existence, transformation, and the relationship between the individual and society.
His work explores the intersections of art and beauty, religion and science, life and death, gender dynamics, social constructs, and empowerment.
