Born in Equatorial Guinea in 1954.

Sergi Barnils currently resides in Barcelona and works in his studio in Sant Cugat del Vallès. His paintings are widely appreciated by both the public and critics alike, not only in Spain but also in Germany and Italy where he has been exhibiting his work since 1995. After extensive training, during which Barnils was exposed to some of the most important movements in Contemporary Art – from The Impressionists to Cézanne, Masson to Abstract Art- he found his own highly intellectual synthesis between colour and what inspired him from Catalan traditions, conceiving paintings full of penetratingly intense, precise symbols. Barnils’ attraction to landscapes shuns descriptively representing them, instead developing a synthesis of space. His works create a dialogue with the painting and the geometry of them is unified by the layering of the material and the image. The destiny of life is continuously depicted in the pieces, regardless of how abstract, as is the painter’s desire to express the investigation of beauty and happiness.
