Carlos arrived in Tulum in 2011 and has watched it grow into a thriving holiday destination but believes passionately in building a more diverse and secure region for its permanent residents. He wants to give them both access to international art and also promote the art and culture, specifically the Mayan language, to the local community.

Carlos is a researcher at heart and has a particular interest in ancient art and its effect on cultural development both in Mexico and across the globe.
