In 'Library II', Josep María Carbó captures a moment of intimacy and reflection. The central figure, surrounded by books and music, seems immersed in her thoughts, suggesting a pause in the daily bustle. The pencil and watercolor on paper technique lends an ethereal quality, while the soft color palette evokes calm and nostalgia.

Carbó, a self-taught artist from Premià de Mar, began sharing his portraits during the 2020 pandemic, building a global project that has taken his watercolors to private collections in Europe, America, and Asia. Since 2024 he has exhibited in galleries, and in 2025 he participated in group shows in London and New York. His recent work focuses on the elegance and independence of women, often faceless, inviting the viewer to project themselves into the scene.
