Those who know Carlos describe his style as follows: "A great creative universe, both in cinema and on stage, with a comon denominator:  nihilism, exasperation and a sharp sometimes desperate sense of humour. A gentle despair, from which emanates a spirit of revolt, situated in some apocalyptic fields, sometimes tangible - an opressive and devastated scenery, an abandoned factory, a world in ruins... - and sometimes moral and psychological. These particular aspects, in addition to the oral richness with which he expresses his creativity, are deeply attractive and tempting. Several of his works were published : some of his plays, novels (Confutatis maledictis in 2007 and Combustion Espontanea de un Jurado in 2012), a screenplay (Aleister Crowley en la Boca del Inferno, 2013), and non-fiction (Los trabajos del directo, 2007). Carlos writes regularly for the digital magazine Coencuentros.es
