XEVI SOLÁ

From his perspective, he believes that distancing oneself from literalness is a valuable approach in painting, although he acknowledges that it can be challenging for figurative painters. However, he emphasizes that it is not an impossible task and demonstrates it through the continuous evolution of his aesthetic. He has left behind deep and baroque narratives in favor of apparent lightness in his scenes, with the purpose of emotionally relaxing the viewer. Despite these changes, Xevi has always been a portraitist. He specializes in psychological portraits, aiming to capture the personality and emotions of his subjects. This gift is what connects his work with those seeking the art of this Spanish artist. In his strokes, viewers find a captivating and enduring fascination.

‘Common People’ is presented as a project in which Xevi explores a new artistic direction by moving away from the need to correct errors and embracing the purpose of accepting and using them to his advantage, basing his creative process on a philosophy that values freedom over a rigid methodology.
