Biography
Romà Panadès was born in Barcelona in 1956. He graduated in Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona. For several years he was a university lecturer in Pictorial Procedures in the same faculty. He completed his training with courses in ceramics, mosaic and engraving.
He has had several one-man shows in Barcelona, Majorca, Madrid, Tunisia and Switzerland.
His work has passed through several periods and in all of them it is characterised as being a vital oeuvre, in authentic and constant renewal, in terms of both subject matter and processes. Always, however, showing deep-rooted links to Barcelona and the Mediterranean and just as he himself defines it, closer to the visual inheritance of the cinema than to that of painting.
His works, as well as belonging to different Catalan and Spanish collections, have been exhibited internationally in Switzerland, England, Germany and the United States, among other countries.
His personal graphic vision has led him to undertake diverse commissions as an illustrator and poster designer (Poster for the Mercè Festival 1993, Barcelona City Council), and collaborator on newspapers such as La Vanguardia, El País and El Periódico de Catalunya, as well as producing book cover designs and stage designs.
