During the project of the Albert Einstein Theater, Moises, our founder, was looking for an extra set of hands for the project. With the recommendation from various Cuban artists, Moises reached out to Carlos and they worked together on it, Carlos still working from Cuba. After the culmination of the project in 2014, Carlos came to visit Panama. He worked on a few other projects, such as the theaters at the Tribunal Electoral, International School of Panama, and Instituto Justo Arosemena, before settling permanently in Panama and working in audiofotoPRO in 2017.
