An incredibly creative painter and inventor of a multifaceted oeuvre. He was a disciple of artists such as Joan and Màrius Vilatobà. He trained at the Acadèmia Miralles in Manresa and entered the Escola de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi in Barcelona when he was only seventeen years old. In 1961 he and his wife moved to La Massana (Andorra) and he worked mainly on the theme of social realism during that decade. Then, from the 1970s, Monegal focused entirely on painting and underwent an important artistic development whereby he moved on from realism to delve into geometrizations and the idealization of the figure. Finally, in 1975, he took on tempera painting which enabled him to develop the plastic language that characterizes his work.
