When he completed his training at La Llotja, Ramon Guillen-Balmes began researching the sculptural language by assembling different materials. In his projects he plays with notions of desire, automatism and the anatomic forms of our body. Dadaist influences are key to conceptually understand his artwork and he often used objets trouvés, a concept that refers to art made by using decontextualized everyday objects. He taught at Escola Massana until his premature death at the age of 47. In 2012, the school dedicated a retrospective exhibition to commemorate the artist’s career.
