Antoni Tapies
Antoni Tàpies i Puig , (Barcelona, 1923-2012), painter, sculptor and art theorist. One of the main exponents of Informalism worldwide, he is considered one of the most outstanding Spanish artists of the 20th century.
Self-taught, Tàpies created his own style within the avant-garde art of the 20th century, in which tradition and innovation were combined within an abstract style, but full of symbolism, giving great importance to the material substrate of the work. It is worth noting the marked spiritual meaning given by the artist to his work, where the material support transcends its state to signify a profound analysis of the human condition.
"The effort to which my work tends consists of reminding man what he really is, giving him a subject for meditation, producing a shock that makes him come out of the frenzy of the inauthentic so that he discovers himself and becomes aware of himself. its real possibilities."
