Couple in Love (Monumental Size)

In this sculpture, Carbonell expresses the metamorphosis between two lovers and the passion created as two souls become one. The two heads, in endearing placement, give form to extreme stylization without diminishing or adulterating the identity of the image or composition. Carbonell, in his personal philosophy, searched for the essence of the form and the absence of detail while empowering a feeling of monumentality in his sculptures.

In his works, you can experience the monumentality of Moore, the simplicity found in the works of Brancusi, Archipenko, and Arp, but in the quality of his forms, Carbonell represents a very distinctive and personal style, which makes his work highly recognizable and defines his own art. Carbonell imparted a sublime universal beauty to his sculptures that made his work transcend and give permanence for future generations to understand and appreciate.
