Already in early ages, Xavier Gonzalez establishes contact with artists like Modes Cuixart and Antoni Pitxot. The latter describes the first stage of the artist as "frozen worlds", when he represents architectural, geometric and lunar landscapes as in the painting we see. After exhibiting in Barcelona, he settles in Berlin, where he continues to exhibit and is linked to the poetry of Holders, Paul Celan and Rilke. Later, in 2007, he moved to New York; this is when he participates in group exhibitions and begins to make contact with a wider buying public. During this same moment she captivates the public with concepts of water, wind, earth and fire. After a few months he returns to Spain (Cadaqués) and focuses on writing, dedicating himself to music extra-professionally, also painting in environments surrounded by nature, filling his painting with black and fire rust. The result will be exhibited a few years later in Gijón under the name of "Luto Blanco" (White Mourning). With the support he received, his enthusiasm brought him back to New York, establishing a friendship with the Italian art critic Carmine Benincasa (from this friendship will arise exhibitions in Venice, Milan and Rome). Later, he returns to Berlin and travels to Croatia. He is an artist with an important international public and even today he continues to attract an international audience with his tremendously expressive and captivating works.
