Following the Spanish Civil War, while still a teenager, Josep Comes i Busquets started earning a living by painting the ceilings of burnt-out churches. He was a painter, decorator, graphic artist, advertising sign painter, as well as arts director and president of the Acadèmia de Belles Arts in Sabadell. His hyperrealistic style paintings, made with egg tempera on a wooden base, reflect in meticulous detail the great palaces, railway stations and interiors of modernist houses in Sabadell; in short, architectures filled with nuanced light and replete with intense sensitivity.
