Through his father, Pere Català-Pic, Francesc Català-Roca started learning photography when he was only thirteen years old. But it was not until 1947, once he had his own studio, that he focused on industrial photography and illustration. He worked with various magazines such as the weekly Revista and the group of architects Grup R. His images range from natural and urban landscape to artistic and ethnographic documentation. He portrayed key figures from our culture such as Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró, Josep Pla, among others. Throughout his career he has garnered numerous awards: the Premio Nacional de Artes Plásticas (1983) from the Spanish Ministry of Culture, the Creu de Sant Jordi from the Generalitat de Catalunya (1992) and the Medalla d’Or al Mèrit Artístic from the Ajuntament de Barcelona (1993).
