Jaume Plensa (Barcelona, ​​1955) lives and works in Barcelona and Paris, and is one of the Spanish artists with the greatest international reach. Drawing, sculpture, graphic work, opera sets, video projections, acoustic installations… there is practically no artistic or technical medium that the artist has not explored.
Between 1999 and 2003 he became one of the leading figures in world stage design, reinterpreting, together with La Fura dels Baus, four classic operas: Atlantis, The Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian, The Damnation of Faust y The magic Flute.
Plensa has also received several awards, including: First Prize for Sculpture at the XXXIX Salon de Montrouge (1994), the Alexander Calder Foundation Prize (1996), and the Spanish Association of Art Critics Prize for the best work presented at Arco'98. He was recently awarded an honorary doctorate by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago
Despite his high standing in the art market, Jaume Plensa has managed to remain outside the commercial trends that pervade contemporary art. His work has been exhibited in the best international centers and institutions of contemporary art.
