About me.
Carlos Rosas, known as XILOS, is a pioneering force in contemporary urban art. Hailing from Los Angeles and now based in Boyle Heights, he is celebrated for his photojournalistic photography, street art, and minimalist designs reminiscent of Banksy. His artwork encapsulates the spirit of city life through a journalistic perspective, often societal conventions with striking visuals. By integrating NFTs and Web 3.0 technologies, XILOS merges traditional art with modern digital advancements, continually transforming artistic expression in the digital era and leaving a significant mark on physical and virtual art landscapes.
