Carlos vazquez
Carlos Vazquez is an expert jeweler and entrepreneur who has been working using Swarovski crystals since 2000, mainly designing and manufacturing jewelry of the highest level.
Vazquez is known for utilizing Swarovski crystals to create unique pieces that no one has ever seen before. Vazquez’ latest invention is Crystal Art project. In 2013 he decided to create works of art made entirely of Swarovski crystals. Vazquez soon realized that this was a challenging project since there were no tools developed to create such works of art in the professional level. As he did not want to give up on his dream, Vazquez decided to develop the necessary tools to bring this project to life. It took Vazquez three years to create a special glue, canvas, software, and technique to make a work of art made with Swarovski crystals be of the highest quality possible.
Each artwork is meticulously created by a team of fourteen people lead by Vazquez. Vazquez is currently collaborating with pop artist Estevam Concatto from Brazil who designs the subjects for each piece. Vazquez then turns them into works of art made of up to 99,000 Swarovski crystals. Each crystal measures only two to three millimeters in diameter and is hand picked from a variety of colors and placed on canvas one-by-one.
In December 2015 Vazquez successfully debuted his Swarovski crystal artwork in Miami during Art Basel. In June 2016 Vazquez found its first home at SKYE Art Gallery at The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas.
