Bio

Pere Rius (b. 1968)

Full-time artist since 2017. I work between Barcelona and Reus.

Studies of Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona.

Before 2017 my professional dedication has been linked to the world of entrepreneurship and startups.

I consider myself a proactive self-taught person with curiosity and interest in things.

I understand art as an opportunity to get to know a qualitative reality of our world. The artist, through his research and his proposal, brings us closer to that possibility.

I hope you enjoy my work and do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further information.

Statement

I don’t fully comprehend painting unless it is accompanied by an investigative mindset. “To paint is to live” as my esteemed Bram van Velde once said. Any serious research generates a period of uncertainty that ultimately becomes certainty. For me painting is an experience that is very close to poetic silence. Fecund. Condensed. Like a haiku.

Thank you!

I got your message.
Give me some time to answer you.

Regards,
Pere
