Painter, draftsman and printmaker. After studying at the School of Arts and Trades of El Clot (Barcelona) he entered the Llotja School of Arts and Trades, where he was a pupil of Lluís Muntané. After the Civil War he entered the School of Sant Jordi, where his teachers included E. Santasusagna, F. Labarta and E. Monjo. In 1944 he held his first solo exhibition at the Galerías Españolas in Barcelona and in 1945 he resided in Paris, where he studied the works of Van Gogh, Cézanne, Gauguin and Bonnard. In 1946 he obtained the El Paular grant and lived in the Netherlands, where he studied Rembrandt, Vermeer and Franz Hals. In 1957 he was named Professor of Painting at the School of Fine Arts of Sant Jordi. In 1986 the painter’s last exhibition during his lifetime was held, organized by the La Caixa Foundation of Barcelona, an exhibition that was moved to Madrid. One month after his death a tribute was dedicated to him at the Cercle Artístic de Sant Lluc. Painter recognizable for the joy of his palette and a liberated brushstroke, both characteristics developed after digesting in a singular way the Parisian avant-gardes, he developed a post-impressionist body of work and later evolved toward a very personal Fauvism with nuances of an expressionist character.
