Pascual Bueno was born
in 1930 in the city of
Barcelona. From a very
young age he showed
tremendous skill in
drawing and painting. At
14, he entered the
Provincial School of
Master Painters in
Barcelona, from which he
graduated four years
later. During those
years, he combined his
studies with decorative
work at his father’s
workshop. It was during
that time that he
realized his true
calling was easel
painting.
His first painting
award in 1948 reaffirmed
his decision to become a
painter. He was awarded
another first prize in
1956, at a contest
organized by the Art
Museum of Barcelona.
During that same year,
he was awarded several
prizes and honors, and
even a scholarship in
Paris, to study
impressionist painters.
Upon his return from
Paris, Bueno made his
first exhibit in
Barcelona, soon to be
followed by others in
Valencia, Madrid,
Bilbao, etc.
In 1957 he joined the
Saint Jordi Higher
School of Fine Arts,
Barcelona, where he
became a Professor of
Drawing and Painting.
Bueno had his first
solo exhibitions in 1968
in two galleries in the
United States - one in
California and the other
in New York. His work
was already sold by
Marchands in both Europe
and America.
Pascual Bueno is
extremely sensitive to
light and color. His
work can be classified
within the current
post-impressionism
movement. A constant
worker, Bueno is
convinced that tenacity
and perseverance are the
deepest, firmest pillars
for the spiritual and
technical development of
a true artist. His works
can be seen at many
museums in European and
American cities, such as
Barcelona, Florence,
California, New York,
South Carolina, Uruguay,
etc. His work also
appears in art
publications such as
"500 Master Paintings"
and "Current Masters of
Calatonian Painting".
