Biography
Catalan painter, sculptor, and ceramicist. His works are interpreted as belonging to Surrealism, as an expression of a return to childhood, and as “sandboxes for the subconscious.” Initially influenced by the works of Vincent van Gogh and the Fauvists, he painted portraits and landscapes. In 1919, he was in Paris, where he painted Cubist still lifes and landscapes. From 1924, he was associated with the Dadaist movement, and later with Surrealism. His work was influenced by the paintings of P. Klee. The artist’s individual style, situated at the intersection of Surrealism and Romantic abstraction, is imbued with an atmosphere of poetic metamorphosis and fantasy. He employed symbolic forms characterized by pure, saturated colors. In addition to painting, he also worked in mural painting, ceramics, printmaking, and sculpture.
