BIOGRAPHY OF THE ARTIST:
Rafael Griera i Calderón (1934-2018) was a Catalan painter, draftsman and illustrator born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and who passed away in Olot, trained in the tradition of the School of Olot.
Son of an Olotian maker of religious imagery, he trained at the Escola de Belles Arts d’Olot and frequented the Cràter d’Art circle, where he began his career with landscapes typical of Olot. His first exhibition took place in 1953, focused on oil landscapes, watercolors and gouache.
A contact in Mallorca in 1956 with painters such as Anglada Camarasa led him to an informalist phase, after which he returned to figuration breaking with the luminous Olot tradition, drawing inspiration from Nordic and European schools such as Cézanne or González Velázquez. His later works represent realistic worlds with anonymous figures in interiors, landscapes and cities, emphasizing individuality through plays of light and shadow.
He carried out commercial illustrations and exhibited in books and catalogs such as "Olot Art" (1979) or "Rafael Griera" (1987), maintaining a personal approach against mass production. His work remains active in the Catalan and Spanish art market.
