Ramon Pujol

Ramon Pujol was born in Olot, Spain in 1947. His early talent as a gifted artist was met with encouragement and clear acceptance by his family. From a very early age, paintbrushes and colors
were his favorite toys. Pujol says that an artist is born, is made and develops. As such, his first
academic training was at the Escola de Belles Artes de Olot. From this training he was granted
the opportunity to study under the masterful teaching of Luis Carbonell and later Cussinye,
Barnadas and Collellmir. Ramon Pujol admires the styles of many different artists like Cezanne,
Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec, and especially Monet and Manet. His main influence, although, is nature.
The colors, changes in light, luminosity and opacity inspire him to depict amazing light reflections on
water.
Initially, Pujol insisted on the use of the palette knife. Gradually the palette knife gave way to the
systematic use of brushes. With this change his paintings began to reveal a deep understanding
and interpretation of depth, light and atmosphere. The meticulous style of Pujol renders a level of
distinction that sets his work apart from other painters. As such, he has received gold medals at
the Autumn Salon in Marseille, France and the International Salon in Evian, France, in addition to
countless awards in his native country of Spain. Pujol prefers to stay away from abstract painting
because he feels that understanding is a very important part of art. It is essential for the artist and
the spectator to share a common bond when looking at a painting. Viewers of Pujol’s art can
easily see his love for the beauties in nature and his adoration for traveling to exquisite spots all
around Europe. He journeys to Portofino, Venice and La Spezia, Italy every year, along with northern
and southern Spain. He also enjoys visiting Paris, Holland, Switzerland and Greece.
Ramon Pujol has had an impressive number of exhibits. His first show was in 1965, when he was
18 years old and now he has had over 130 in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Majorca and
Washington, just to name a few. Upon introducing the original paintings of Pujol to the international art
world reception to the work of this Spanish master has been outstanding. The alluring atmosphere
and reflections of his works pull the viewer into a beautiful and tranquil world, the world of Ramon
Pujol.
Ramon Pujol has several books published on his life and achievements. Among these are Ramon
Pujol by Joan Barril, 2 books entitled Ramon Pujol by Rafael Kyoga Berliner, Ramon Pujol by Jose
Maria Cadena, and Ramon Pujol Reflections by Jose Maria Cadena.
