Overview
"Now, the most important thing for me is the painting, the gesture, the color; the form, in short. I am in the process of forgetting the strictly narrative part of the painting. This evolution takes time and I consider this change as a journey of no return."
The characters Xevi Solà depicts are unique, rare and beautiful, each one of them captured in a modest and intimate moment. His works, far from showing just what is there at plain sight, capture a feeling, a sensation that is there and that creates a tacit bond between the onlooker and the painter. Wearing colorful and eye-catching attires, the people portrayed in his artworks are made using colorful strokes that tend to create even more deepness in their looks and highlight their intriguing and captivating poses. Xevi's work serves as a reminder of the beauty in boldness and rarity, and how figurative art can still be edgy and aligned with our times.
