Lluís Ribas

I marry Magda Busquets and we move into an apartment on Pº Maragall, in Barcelona, in the same stairway as the singer-songwriter Raimón, one of the greatest civil rights fighters through his songs.

My father, who thought it would be very difficult to live from painting, urged me to study advertising, which seemed like one of the most booming professions in Spain at the time.

The Swedish company Verkerke carry out a series of reproductions of my work.

I recently celebrated the 40th anniversary of my first individual exhibition, which took place in the Xarxa gallery in Calafell, in June 1976.
