His passion for art and the need to express his feelings through it, lead Xavi Carbonell to enter the world of painting more than two decades ago. His main influences have come not only from the hand of established artists such as Basquiat, Cy Twombly, Saura and others of Abstract Expressionism, but also from the doodles sketched by children.
In his work, his interest in children's art is evident, not only from a formal point of view -where the iconographic elements are sketched with strokes that seem to come from the hand of a child- but also in the choice of themes. Through his works he invites us to enter his particular universe, a universe that, without realizing it, we will try to make our own.
