Emili Armengol is one of the Catalan sculptors of Modernity and belongs to the third generation of the post-Spanish Civil War period. Sculptures in the shapes of fish and the silhouette of a woman are part of his creative universe, with basic and simple forms that navigate between the dialectic of the geometric world and organicism. He is the artist who made the widely-known Porta dels Països Catalans in the border area at Salses. In 2007, he was admitted as a Chevalier de l’ordre des Arts et des Lettres for his contribution to French art and culture.
