RIPOLLES Juan Garcia : LA SIESTE

Juan Garcia RIPOLLES

Ripolles was born in 1932 in Spain.

He is an artist with an inexhaustible imagination, who is sensitive to his surroundings and has a unique talent for reinterpreting his environment through painting, sculpture and etching. Ripollés, who hails from Castellón and is considered one of the most international stars of contemporary Spanish art, has exhibited his works throughout Europe, America and Asia for more than 50 years. Over the course of his brilliant career, he has acquired great prestige and recognition outside Spain for his audacity and the fantasy he creates with shapes, colours and materials. Over the years Ripollés has also continually redefined himself and has always been open to change. This rejuvenation has taken place in the form of calm transitions, which, today, clearly show the evolution of pictorial and sculptural work that evolves with each period, but which has one common and essential characteristic: it is all the work of a genius.
