Josep Maria Subirachs

Josep Maria Subirachs was a sculptor, painter, draughtsman, printmaker, and one of the most internationally renowned contemporary Catalan artists. His work is structured around a distinctive symbolic language, characterized by dialectics, oppositions, and a strong conceptual charge. In 1986, upon receiving the commission for the Passion Façade of the Sagrada Família, he revisited the styles he had practiced throughout his career, such as Expressionism and metaphysical abstraction, thereby creating a synthesis of his earlier artistic phases.
