2021, CAMÍ D’ORIENT

Ricard Jorge Pérez
Graduate in Graphic Design from the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona. He describes himself as a creative illustrator that challenges the observer. Geometric and bold style, with gradients and minimalist compositions that pay tribute to the advertising posters of the mid-twentieth century.

He brings his work down to the minimum expression letting the enlightenment and the essence of things blossom by giving importance to marked perspectives, colourful hues and using the content just right to convey his ideas with a synthetic or realistic finish, depending on the artwork's purpose.

2020, MAGICAL TREE

Maria Arimany Nicolau
She was born in La Garriga on 27 January 1929. In her 80s she discovered her vocation as an artist. She paints, oil-on-canvas, magical landscapes with her joyful and lively style that emerges from within, landscapes that are not only seen but also perceived by the rest of the senses.
Her artworks, the artist’s source of memory, transmit us her gaze of lived places.
Her paintings inform us of the natural diversity of the territory. The trees, the paths, the leaves, the flowers, the forests, the sky, are distinctive elements of her artístic work which is the Landscape.

2019, LLUM DEL DESERT

Degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona specialized in sculpture. Her work invites you to stroll through personal geography full of depictions of particular landscapes; it captures the gaze to stop the time, transporting you to enjoy the moment, the instant.

Lately, she has created artworks for awards as Premi Solidaritat, 2018, of the Institut del Drets Humans de Catalunya, and, for public entities, as Centelles and Sant Cugat Town Halls, amongst others.

2015, THE WISE MAN

Sagi Tarbal i Ripoll

2014, LA CASA DE LA MÚSICA

Zviad Gogolauri
Zviad was born in Rustavi (Georgia), although he later moved to the capital Tiflis.
His work has a lively pulse. Poorly assembled houses that, occasionally, open their bowels for us to discover the music coming from their interior.
The painted characters look quietly at the viewer. There are no gloomy faces or desperate grimaces. Naive and folk art meet again. And music, music everywhere

2013, NIT SOSTENIBLE

Núria Vallès
Her work is dyed in unreal colors with expressionist and fauvist nuances. They are the expression of a possible and better world than ours. As an artist, she feels co-responsible for the future.

2012, MERCAT DE NADAL

Abel Florido

He paints people on the move depicting life in large cities. In his work, grey, black, white colours abound as well as parts highlighted in bright colours, mainly in red.

2011, MÁGICO COMETA PARA UN EXTRAÑO MUNDO

Jordi Pintó
His work is an open window, scenery that talks about childhood and dreams, magical glimpse of a child with an adult’s vision.
His themes are figurative, symbolic universes filled up with constructions and architectures of impossible geometries where oneiric surrealism blends with the quotidian irony giving its very personal version of reality.

2010, SABOTATGE

Vicenç Ferreres
Tireless fighter of lost causes, he is a person open to artistic creation in all its fields.
Dreamer of realities and, at the same time, creator and critic of the world we are living in.
He is a complete artist, ironic but not cynical, and, at the same time, faithful to the concept that art may or may not be ephemeral. The spirit of his work borders on originality.

2009, ELS REIS D'ORIENT

Miquel Olivares
The Kings from the East
They bring gifts, they bring gifts;
The Kings from the East
Bring gifts for the people.
Long live the Three Kings from the East
Who bring gifts for all the people.

Popular Catalan folk song

2008, NOCHE DE PAZ

Raimundo Martín
Silent night, Holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

2007, LOS TRES REYES

Pablo Maeso
O Wise Men who come for them,
seek the stars no more;
for where the Sun is
stars no longer give light.

2006, THE NATIVITY

Eleazar
To Bethlehem I want to go.
Coming along, rabadà*?
- I want to have breakfast!

In Bethlehem we'll breakfast
and Jesus we'll glorify.
- There's too much snow!

The snow along the way
the heat will melt it away.
- Some "heat" this is!

Come on, stand up, light the fire;
Don't be slow!
- I'm already hurrying too much!

* Popular catalán Christmas song. A "rabadà" is, in Catalonia, a shepherd boy, unskilled and illiterate. Hence the childishness of the song, and the infantile, frivolous and somewhat irreverent replies the rabadá gives.

2005, LIBERTY

Pep Escoda
Freedom, Sancho, is one of the most precious gifts that heaven has bestowed upon men; no treasures that the earth holds buried or the sea conceals can compare with it; for freedom, as for honour, life may and should be ventured.

2004, LA NADALA

Josep Lluís Arimany Nicolau
Christmas song. Poetry composition with the intention of congratulating the Christmas to beloved people.
