Artist biography:

Xavier Bartumeus (Manresa, 1965) is a Spanish painter and sculptor. He studied painting techniques and artistic procedures at the Massana School in Barcelona, where he also taught. His artistic and personal trajectory took a radical turn after his conversion to Catholicism, directing much of his work toward contemporary sacred art.

Career and Notable Works

Education and teaching: He trained at the Massana School of Barcelona, earning a scholarship and deepening his study of pictorial and figurative procedures.
The Divine Comedy: He undertook a 99-meter drawing project inspired by Dante's work, marking his first major foray into the union of the contemporary and the spiritual.
Religious sculpture: He has created sacred art pieces such as a life-size image of Saint Joseph for a church in Barcelona.
The Christ of the Olympic Stadium (2026): Gained wide public notoriety as the author of the large sculpture of a crucified Christ —a reinterpretation and enlargement in resin of the Christ by Francesc Fajula from the baldachin of the Sagrada Família— which presided over the vigil of prayer of Pope Leo XIV at the Montjuïc Olympic Stadium.
