Since 1997, a main aspect of his work has been focused on Mexico's popular wrestling. Fascinated by the role that masks and fictional identities play in this environment, the artist has created a wrestling persona for himself called Amorales to investigate how identity is constructed across cultural and social spaces.
Carlos Amorales' work has been seen in solo exhibitions at Micheline Szwajcer in Antwerp, Belgium, and the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zurich, Switzerland. Group exhibitions include inSITE 2000 in San Diego, USA and Tijuana, Mexico; and Let's Entertain at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, USA. Amorales also participated in The Overexcited Body at the Museo del Palazzo Arengario, Milan, Italy, ass well as the 2001 Tiranna and Berlin Biennales, Germany.
