Born in 1934, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Carlos Cohen had his first art training at the Colegio Nacional de Bellas Artes de Buenos Aires. Upon arriving to the United States in 1958, he continued his studies at LACC in Los Angeles. Carlos first began his artistic career as an oil painter. One day, while looking for a part-time job to supplement his income, he stumbled upon a mosaic studio in Los Angeles and was instantly fascinated by the art form. After presenting his portfolio of paintings, he was given the opportunity to learn the techniques of mosaic art while working under the direction of the studio owner.
During the seven years of collaborations with the private studio, Carlos quickly acquired a reputation as a magnificent mosaic muralist with many of his works designed and executed for public buildings, such as: "The Great Gates" of Eden Memorial Park of San Fernando Valley; "The Burning Bush" on the exterior facade of a Sephardic Hebrew Temple; "Santa Rosa de Lima" in Cordoba, Argentina, as well as many other private commissions. To this day, Carlos continues to create classical mosaic masterpieces while incorporating many different styles, mediums and techniques.
