Jaume Cubells was a sculptor and professor of Fine Arts. In the fifties, he was one of the driving forces behind the new Catalan plastic arts, carrying out his artistic and teaching work throughout Europe, particulary in Sweden, Belgium and the Netherlands. His first informalist plastic steps soon led on to a primitive expressionism taking its main inspiration from wooden totemic forms. In contrast, from the seventies and eighties he incorporated resins, plastics and chromaticisms into his procedures. The carving, which seems to be shaped by nature itself, plays with parabolic lines and empty spaces that endow lightness and movement to the pieces.
