From his first abstract models to material expressionism, Josep Niebla combined his artistic work with an active participation in politics in the country. He was one of the founders of the Barcelona section of Estampa Popular, a group of artists who created the so-called social art. He understood painting as an expressive medium, in which textures, colours and material qualities are the vocabulary of all those emotions that cannot be accessed through words. A poetic, dedicated work towards a revaluation of social commitment. A common theme is a constant recurrence to the sea as a silent space for reflection.
