Santiago Carbonell | Bio
During his youth he lived in Ecuador, Spain, the United States and Italy and later came to Mexico in 1986.
He has participated in various solo and group exhibitions in Mexico, France, England, the United States, Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Belgium, Ecuador and Spain. Some of the prizes he has obtained are: 1982, from the Catalan American Institute for Cooperation and in 1980 the Reina Sofía Fine Arts Grant.
In 2009/2010 he made the mural commemorating the bicentennial of the Independence of Mexico and the centennial of the Mexican Revolution in the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation.
In 2014, the Santiago Carbonell Foundation Museum was inaugurated in Querétaro. It has more than 20 publications.
He started painting at 6 years old. His iron discipline, tenacious study and refined self-taught talent, has led him to travel the world, surprising the viewer with a personal perception of the painting. He is an outstanding representative of the hyperrealist trend, although - as he himself declares - his aesthetic is not based on reproducing what reality or photography represent, but on inventing from them.
“My work is based on direct observation of reality. When you see a work of mine, no matter how realistic it is, you can never confuse it with a photographic image. The painting is latent. I am a painter of reflection, more evolutionary than revolutionary, more rational and more scientific. Everything is calculated, very well thought out. ”
