About the artist: Antoni Tàpies (1923–2012) was a Spanish Catalan painter, sculptor, and art theorist, widely regarded as one of the most important European artists of the 20th century. Known for his abstract, textured works, Tàpies often used unconventional materials like sand, marble dust, and even rags, giving his paintings a tactile, almost sculptural quality. His art was heavily influenced by the political and social tensions in post-war Spain, and he frequently incorporated symbols, graffiti, and organic forms into his pieces. A key figure in the informalism movement, Tàpies explored themes of materiality, spirituality, and the passage of time throughout his career.
