Carlos de la Encarnación, born in Madrid de Las Ventas, discovered his ion for painting at the age of 12. What began as a childhood interest soon grew into a lifelong dedication, with Carlos spending countless hours honing his skills between canvases and brushes.

During a significant period of his career, Carlos worked closely with the ICROA Institute for the Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art in Madrid, where he was responsible for much of the development and printing in the photographic laboratory. Despite these professional commitments, Carlos continued to pursue his ion for painting, and his efforts were rewarded when he won first prize in a competition organized by the Most Excellent City Council of Seville la Nueva in Madrid.

Later, Carlos became fascinated with computer graphics and 3D animation, which led him to work at Aldeasa. There, he applied his skills to prepare project plans, preliminary designs, and virtual presentations for the shopping centers Aldeasa operates in both national and international airports.
