Mother and Child (Medium-Size)

This sculpture exemplifies the relationship between a mother and her child. Carbonell eliminates extraneous details and replaces them with the sublime affection of a mother for her child as she nurtures him close to her heart. The composition denotes a protective stand in an intimate expression of love. 

Carbonell's personal philosophy searched for the essence of form and the absence of detail while empowering a feeling of monumentality in his sculptures.

In his works, you can experience Moore's monumentality and the simplicity found in Brancusi, Archipenko, and Arp's works. However, 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 to his sculptures a sublime universal beauty that transcends time and gives his work permanence for future generations to understand and appreciate.
