Victor Otero Carbonell is a self-taught Spanish painter whose distinctive works oscillate between realism and figurative expressionism. Carbonell's paintings can be described as melancholic, introspective and emotional, they are a dive into human emotions and psyche. He says: "When I was a teenager, I started painting portraits to better understand myself psychologically, and this is an exercise I have continued since then." For more than twenty years, my sketchbook has become my personal diary. Carbonell has a history of setting up eight solo exhibitions and participating in eight group exhibitions in Spain, Italy and France, and has received four domestic awards in Spain so far.
