Montse Valdés, 1959

Born in Barcelona, Spain, Montse Valdés began drawing at an early age and spent four years in Paris and one year in Asia during her youth.

Her travels back then have had an effect on her art, and following a brief sojourn in the world of theater, she decided to pursue painting at age 21 and began to create the wealth of generously sized, ethereal and peaceful portraits, figurative works for which she is known.

From 1981-1984, Valdés studied drawing, painting and pastel techniques at the Isidre Vilaseca Studio in Girona and the Artur Aldomà Puig Studio in Barcelona.

Victor Hugo | Depuis six mille ans la guerre / For six thousand years the war

For six thousand years the war

Pleasing the quarrelsome peoples,

And God wastes his time doing

The stars and the flowers.

Francisco Goya | Third of May, 1808 | Museo del Prado

The nuts are getting brown,

The berry's cheek is plumper,

The rose is out of town.
