About the Item

Xavi Carbonell (b. 1971) is a Spanish artist known for creating playful, childlike works that invite viewers to engage their imaginations. His pieces remain untitled, encouraging individual interpretations and stories. The spontaneity and joy in his work resonate with both children and adults, often evoking comparisons to a Rorschach test, as each person sees something unique and smiles at different elements. This mixed media painting is a lively, chaotic, and whimsical composition that feels like an explosion of imagination. Set against a muted beige background, the artwork is filled with vibrant colors and sketch-like figures that create a playful and energetic atmosphere. At the center of the piece, a large blue figure with wide eyes and outstretched arms stands out, exuding a sense of exuberance. To the right, a whimsical character with a purple body and oversized circular glasses adds a quirky touch, while a green, tentacle-like figure above them injects a sense of motion and unpredictability. The canvas is densely populated with overlapping doodles and abstract shapes, ranging from faces to playful creatures, all rendered in a loose, sketchy style. These smaller drawings, in black, red, and other hues, contribute to an overall sense of organized chaos, inviting the viewer to explore the piece in detail. Spray paint effects, with soft, hazy edges and colorful splatters in shades of blue, green, pink, and black, add texture and depth to the work. Red accents, used sparingly for features like eyes and mouths, provide intense pops of color, while bold black outlines help to ground the composition. The combination of vibrant colors, abstract figures, and layered details creates a dynamic and engaging visual experience. The painting evokes a sense of spontaneity and creative freedom, encouraging the viewer to interpret its elements in their own unique way. Critics often compare Carbonell’s work to the styles of Cy Twombly, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Picasso, and Miró. His art has earned numerous awards and has been exhibited across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. He continues to live and work in Alcoi, Spain. This piece comes framed in an elegant white wood floater frame. It measures 60 x 60 x 2 inches framed. Presented by Art Angler Gallery in New York City.
