Frederic Amat is a multidisciplinary artist who works in the fields of plastic arts and the performing arts. He became interested in experimental and conceptual art, and carried out various actions, during the seventies. At the end of the decade, he embarked on travels in North Africa, Mexico and the USA which had a profound effect on his work and led him to develop a very expressive artwork charged with symbols such as rituals, magic and religion. Most noteworthy among his varied and extensive production are his stage sets and theatrical readaptations, and his direction of films such as Viaje a la Luna (Journey to the moon), by Federico García Lorca, in 1998.
