Museums include Museo La Tertulia in Cali, Colombia, The Anchorage Art Museum in Alaska, The Waterloo Arts Center in Iowa, The Ft. Wayne Museum in Indiana, The Springfield Art Museum in Missouri and the Housatonic Museum of Art in Connecticut. In 2008 he was invited to participate in the Florence Biennale of Contemporary Art in Italy. His work includes drawings, watercolor and acrylic paintings, and photography. During the last few years, he has concentrated on exploring photography as an art form. Since 2019 he has won multiple Silver and Gold awards for his photo work with paper by the well-known international publication Graphis. And this year his recently self-published book titled "PaperandPencilsbyCarlosCaicedo" has won two silver awards, one for photography and the other one for graphic design. In the same consecutive years, he was honored with two Gold medals and two Best Of Show for his photography series using pencils as a subject, by Trierenberg Super Circuit in Austria, the largest photo art contest in the world. One of his latest works features a multi-award animated short video based on his pencils, called “Doodle”, produced with a team led by his son Mo.
