Finestra observatorio Painting

Robert Llimós was born on 19 October 1943 in Barcelona. He trained as an artist at the Massana School of Art and at the St George Higher School of Fine Arts, both in his hometown, and began his career as a painter in the movement known as Nueva figuración (1965-1968), after which he embarked on conceptual explorations and then returned to Neo-Expressionist representational painting, granting great importance to colour (1969-1973). Llimós has spent long sojourns in New York (1975-1983) and Miami (1987-1988). As well as painting, his recent oeuvre includes sculpture, graphic work, murals and posters. At present he lives and works in his workshop in Barcelona. In 1994 he received the Plastic Arts Award granted by the Catalan Government.
