Xavi Carbonell (1971) Alcoi, Spain.
Carbonell actively paints like a child as an adult, and leaves all of his pieces "untitled" so that each viewer can create his/her own story.
His passion for art and the need to express his feelings through it led him to enter the world of painting more than two decades ago. His main influences have not only come from the hand of established artists such as Basquiat, Cy Twombly, Saura and others of Abstract Expressionism, but also from the scribbles sketched by the youngest ones.
In his work, his interest in Children’s Art is evident, not only from a formal point of view -where the iconographic elements are outlined with lines that seem to have emerged from the hand of a child- but also in the choice of themes. Through his works he invites us to delve into his particular universe, a universe that, without realizing it, we will try to make ours.
Carbonell has exhibited in the United States, Spain, Japan, Belgium, Egypt, Sweden and The UAE.
