Paintings

Antonio Gascó (PhD in History of the Art, Professor and Academic of the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, Madrid, Spain and Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Carlos, Valencia, Spain) once wrote about Peris Carbonell`s artworks:

"Peris Carbonell`s paintings are characterized by a sea of colors, always changing and full of movement. They are like agitated waves moving with the wind, the light that emerges from the dawn. In Peris Carbonell`s paintings, the expressionism is mystic, warm and agitated. His cypresses paintings are like flames of candles that never extinguish; in his beaches, the sun is defeated by the strength and light of the powerful color; in his religious scenes, the pictures and forms are overcome by an imminent and supernatural strength of the holiness".
