Joan Colomer Valls
Joan Colomer was raised amid the rich artistic heritage of his family and the inspirational landscape tradition immediately surrounding him. Born in San Feliu De Pallerols, near Olol in the Catalonia region of Spain, in 1965, Colomer was intimately shaped by the pastoral countryside of deep forests and rolling hills that lent its name to the Olotina Landscape School, founded by painter Joaquim Vayreda over one hundred and twenty five years ago. Colomer learned to paint at a young age, alongside his two brothers, under the tutelage of his father, also an artist.
To Colomer, the sky sets the tone and intensity of the work, It is the most important part of his piece. Slowly, one color calls another; it's nearly a question of obedience. "I can't force the harmonies. They just flow from my hand." For Colomer, the harmony just happens. When asked who his artistic heroes are, Colomer eloquently replies, "I'd like to have Beruete's touch, Sorolla's light, Hopper's balance, Corot's gracefulness, Daubighny's vision, Monet's color, Vermeer's mystery, Mauve's atmosphere, and Velazquez's knowledge." The influence of each can be seen in Colomer's work.
