Interview with Carlo Vega
In another episode of our interview series, you’ll hear from industry expert Carlo Vega, a motion design veteran with over two decades of experience. Carlo shares memories of his early career, his first professional job, and his journey to New York. The discussion covers Carlo's use of technology to create art and the topics he explores through his passion projects. The episode concludes with the importance of understanding the process and the value of failure when working on projects.
Carlo Vega was born in Lima, Peru, and grew up during a time of domestic terrorism and political turmoil. Vega approaches his art as a studied collection of thoughts and experiences, piecing together various realities. By combining simple, often geometric shapes with nebulous backgrounds and exploring abstract concepts through various mediums, Vega explores a tension between the logical and the inexplicable, the same tension he was surrounded with as a child in Lima. Carlo received his BA from the University of South Carolina in 2000 and currently resides in Brooklyn, New York.
