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 V. von 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 then with Surrealism. His work was influenced by the paintings of P. Klee. The artist's individual style, standing on the border of surrealism and romantic abstraction, is filled with an atmosphere of poetic metamorphosis and fantasy. He operated with symbolic signs, characterized by pure, saturated colors. In addition to painting pictures, he was also involved in wall painting, ceramics, printmaking and sculpture.
