Bio.

Lluís Güell, born in Banyoles, Catalonia, Spain, was a prominent Catalan artist known for his contributions to surrealism and pop art. His diverse artistic pursuits included painting, sculpture, and spatial design, with a focus on experimentation. Güell's creative vision was shaped by his opposition to dictatorship and his exploration of advertising and television culture, aligning with pop art movements globally. He gained recognition in Catalonia in his twenties, collaborating with avant-garde groups and undertaking interior design projects in Ibiza. Despite battling cancer, Güell continued to create, producing notable series like "Meine Kranken" ("My sick ones"). While he distanced himself from the art market later in life, his works remain in private collections and institutions worldwide, including the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid.
