Modern master sculptor

Eight foot towering bronze sculptures were

Carbonell's forms are romantic and unexaggerated, and convey a heroic aesthetic.
His work contains sensuous lines and a sensitive, balanced composition. He is indeed,
as cristics have acclaimed, one of the masters of sculpture of our time.
