CARBONELL, Jaume

Jaume Carbonell was born in Barcelona in 1942 and passed away in the same city in 2010. He trained at the Conservatori d'Arts Sumptuàries Massana and the Conservatori de les Arts del Llibre in Barcelona. However, it was a journey through Mediterranean Europe that led him to discover the luminosity and shared characteristics of the civilizations born around the sea, elements which he masterfully reflected through a highly personal style bridging Fauvism and Cubism. His first exhibition took place in Barcelona in 1966, and since then, his work has been exhibited in cities across Spain, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. Among the institutions that own and exhibit his pieces are the International Olympic Committee Museum (Lausanne), the Girona Museum of Art, the Biblioteca de Catalunya, Banco Sabadell, La Caixa, the Barcelona Provincial Council, the Port Authority of Barcelona, and the Xylon Ex-Libris Museum (Buenos Aires)...
