Pere
Camps was born in
Sabadell, Barcelona in
1929. From a very early
age, he decided to use
his artistic skills to
explore his great
passion, landscapes.
He attended the
School of Applied Arts
and Crafts in Barcelona,
where he concentrated in
sculpture. In 1949, he
held his first
exhibition at The Fine
Arts Academy in
Sabadell. Exhibits in
Barcelona and Madrid
soon followed. After a
prolonged stay in
Morocco, Camps took part
in the country’s
National Exhibition of
Fine Arts. His stint in
Morocco was followed by
a move to Paris, where
he wed, and Costa Brava,
where he finally settled.
Soon his work was being
widely exhibited Spain.
By the late seventies,
Camps had exhibited at
prestigious galleries
throughout Europe, and
the U.N. Headquarters in
Geneva.
Pere Camps is drawn
to quiet, calm, and cool
landscapes. He usually
paints at dawn or dusk,
which he believes offers
the most beautiful light.
His work embraces the
sense of infinity
afforded by large spaces,
and he often loses track
of where the landscape
ends and he begins.
