Carrero&#8217;s painting, love beats with a delightfully cruel pulse, pointing out all that we love and admire: the smooth skin of women, the artistic old age, ceramics, the veiny, caressing and fleshy texture of fruit.<\/p>\n<p>Carrero is a classic that jumps over academies and customs because, locked alone with his solitude, his magic and his angelic bitterness, he manages to paint the world naked and first hand.<\/p>\n<p>And with the wisest of all possible innocence, that of the artist who only agrees with the truth, never with angels or the devil, and who surrenders only to the swift and mature truth of light and color.[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;5px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt; text-align: right;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\">Camilo Jos\u00e9 Cela,<br \/>\nNobel Prize in Literature.<br \/>\nMadrid, January 1996<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The arrow flies clean, certain and serene, and it is both the symbol of war&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5891,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[108],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interpretations"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
