Ripollés (1932) - Reina

Engraving by Ripollés, hand-painted and signed, containing Murano glass material, made in his Más de Flors workshop. Juan García Ripollés —known as Ripollés—, was born in Alzira (Valencia, Spain) in 1932. The death of his mother during childbirth led him to Castellón La Plana. His early years were not easy: he gathered horse manure, he worked as a junkman and as a broad-stick painter, until he moved to Paris in 1954. He wanted to be a painter. And that is where he achieved it. Four years after his arrival, he managed to hang his paintings in the prestigious Drouand David gallery, the same one that had exhibited Picasso and Chagall. Since his return to Spain, in the sixties, his workshop is nature. Today, at 92, he remains so: he paints in the orchard of his manor house in the small hamlet of Mas de Flors, in the province of Castellón. During the last five decades, his canvases and prints have been shown in the best galleries and museums in Amsterdam, New York, Tokyo or Beijing. His large-format sculptures have been installed in parks and in the main streets and squares of Madrid, Seville, Valencia, Lisbon, Venice, Verona, Hertogenbosch or Beijing.
