Juan García Ripollés, from Castellón, born in Alzira (Valencia, Spain) in 1932, the death of his mother in childbirth brought him to the capital of La Plana.
He went to Paris in 1954, he wanted to be a painter… and it was there that he succeeded.
Four years after his arrival, he hung his paintings in the prestigious Drouand David gallery, the same one that had exhibited Picasso and Chagall.
Since his return to Spain in the 1960s, his workshop has been nature.
Today, at the age of 80, this is still the case: he paints in the vegetable garden of his large house in the small hamlet of Mas de Flors, in Castellón.
Over the last five decades, his canvases and engravings have been shown in the best galleries and museums in Amsterdam, New York, Tokyo and Beijing.
His large sculptures have been installed in parks and in the main streets and squares of Madrid, Seville, Valencia, Lisbon, Venice, Verona, Hertogenbosch and Beijing.
