Artist biography
Jacint Sala (Girona, 1930 – Tossa de Mar, 2012) was a Catalan painter specializing in seascapes and rural views of the Costa Brava. His work is characterized by a clear Mediterranean palette, dominated by blues, ochres, and greens, and by an intimate gaze toward the coastal towns and the nature of his surroundings.
Son of a carpenter from Girona, Sala showed from a young age a strong leaning toward drawing and painting. He studied at the Escola Municipal de Belles Arts de Girona, where he received formal training in drawing and composition under the influence of postwar figurative realism. In the mid-1950s he began spending long periods in Cadaqués and Tossa de Mar, where he came into contact with other landscape painters and with the artistic milieu that was beginning to take shape around cultural tourism.
During the 1960s and 1970s he developed his most personal style, with loose brushwork and a vibrant light that recalled both impressionism and the Catalan luminist tradition. He mainly painted small formats on panel or canvas, depicting coves, beached boats, and fishing villages. His works were shown in several galleries in Girona, Figueres, and Barcelona, and some were part of local competitions such as the Premi Sant Jordi de Pintura.
Jacint Sala led a discreet life and was deeply connected to the landscape. In recent years he settled permanently in Tossa de Mar, where he continued painting until shortly before his death in 2012. His body of work, scattered among private Catalan collections and some local institutions, represents today a sincere and poetic testimony of the landscape of the Costa Brava throughout the 20th century.
