Carlos Sandoval

Carlos Sandoval Mendoza (born 1956, Mexico City) is a Mexican/German multidiscipline artist mostly recognized for his work joining technology and a Gestalt approach to the art of music composition, multi channel video, time-lapsed performance, AI-assisted art and Ink-Pen Drawing. Michael Zwenzner describes him as a “Socio-critical magician of the extended-multimedia instrumental theater.” On more recent Sandoval’s work, Davood wrote: " … Each piece, whether sound or video art, music composition or intricate drawings, reflects an artist who is as much a global citizen as he is a silent observer of the internal human odyssey". Life and work Sandoval was born in an archetypal barrio in downtown Mexico City. Since his childhood, he was exposed to harrowing social and cultural conditions which were later reflected in his work. In 2009 he became a German citizen and now holds a dual Mexican-German passport/nationality. Having abandoned his music studies at Escuela Nacional de Música UNAM 1976-79, Sandoval went on to study composition, analysis and theory, privately, with Julio Estrada (1985–90). He also assisted and took part in private sessions with several other composers. In Europe
