His work is deeply rooted in research and investigation, often taking long periods of development. \u201cMy work is quite archive-based, research-based. I do a lot of investigations, and it takes me a lot of time to develop a project.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than following a fixed method, Gil emphasized uncertainty as a vital creative force. \u201cI don\u2019t have a specific path to follow,\u201d he said, highlighting how unpredictability allows ideas to grow freely. For Gil, embracing risk is central to the artist\u2019s role in society. \u201cOur responsibilities in society, as artists, are to take risks. This is the most important value of an artist.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The conversation later shifted toward imagination, which Gil described as \u201cone of the most powerful weapons we have\u2026 our interface between our inner self and the world.\u201d He contrasted human creativity with machines, noting that \u201ca machine doesn\u2019t face problems\u2014never.\u201d This idea led naturally to the core theme of the workshop: the concept of the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shelter<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For Gil, a shelter is something that protects but also confronts the problems we face. \u201cWhich problems do you want to solve?\u201d he asked, encouraging students to see art as a response to the challenges of their time.<\/span><\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40087\" title=\"CIS University Lola and Gavin in conversation with artist Karlos Gil during the \u201cReclaiming the Future\u201d workshop 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cis-spain.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/01\/CIS-University-Lola-and-Gavin-in-conversation-with-artist-Karlos-Gil-during-the-Reclaiming-the-Future-workshop-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cis-spain.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/01\/CIS-University-Lola-and-Gavin-in-conversation-with-artist-Karlos-Gil-during-the-Reclaiming-the-Future-workshop-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cis-spain.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/01\/CIS-University-Lola-and-Gavin-in-conversation-with-artist-Karlos-Gil-during-the-Reclaiming-the-Future-workshop-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cis-spain.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/01\/CIS-University-Lola-and-Gavin-in-conversation-with-artist-Karlos-Gil-during-the-Reclaiming-the-Future-workshop-2-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p><h2>Pushing boundaries to face and solve new problems<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gil stressed the importance of constantly pushing boundaries in order to face new problems. As he explained, humans create new challenges every day, and artists must remain flexible in their thinking. He views his own work as \u201ca shelter between several things,\u201d a space where past knowledge actively informs future possibilities.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following this conceptual introduction, students moved into the hands-on portion of the workshop. Using clay, cardboard, tape, markers, and toothpicks, they were asked to create their own interpretation of a shelter. Some students designed house-like structures, others built dioramas inspired by Madrid\u2019s metro stations, and one group even created a purse. As they worked, Gil walked around the room, engaging in one-on-one conversations, discussing ideas, and answering individual questions.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the creative session, each group presented their project, explaining what they had created and the meaning behind it. The diversity of responses reflected the openness of the concept and the personal nature of each student\u2019s interpretation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the conclusion of the workshop, Gil had inspired students to reflect more deeply on their relationship with art. He reinforced the idea that art is not a fixed goal, but an evolving process shaped by curiosity, risk-taking, and openness to change. More than a creative exercise, the workshop offered students a new way of understanding their role as artists in a constantly changing world.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students left not only with small sculptures, but with a renewed sense of possibility\u2014aware that their own \u201cshelters,\u201d like their ideas, can grow and change along with them.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Gavin Giem &amp; Lola Marks Contemporary artist Karlos Gil led a workshop titled \u201cReclaiming the Future,\u201d offering students an inside look into his creative process while sharing his broader philosophy on art and its role in society.
