TITO FIGUERAS PINTOR

Andrés Figueras Salvat, artistically known as Tito Figueras,

was born in Tarragona in 1954. At the age of 13, he began his first studies in painting at the Tarragona Provincial Council Art School, where he was taught by renowned artists such as Luis Saumells, Salvador Martorell, Magda Folch, Gonzalo Lindin and Tomás Olivar.

In 1972, he moved to Barcelona to study law, but his real interest was to go to the Círculo Artístico de San Lluc, and later, to the Sanvicens Art School, where he had Teresa LLácer as a teacher.

Finally, he wanted to finish his training, entering the Faculty of Fine Arts in Barcelona, ​​where he ended this stage very early, since he was not interested in the line of abstract painting, which he dominated in those years at school.

He returned to Tarragona, with a broad and solid academic background,

in the field of impressionist figurative art, beginning his career as a painter. In 1984, he had his first exhibition at the Sala de la Llotja in Reus, and in the same year, he won the Soler Estival prize in the young painting competition, organised by the prestigious Sala Parés in Barcelona.

Fundamentally, he is a landscape painter, interested in any corner, any detail, or any space, both urban and rural, that catches his attention, but in particular quiet spaces and elements with history.

Throughout his career, he has held many exhibitions in different galleries and art fairs in Spain, Europe and the United States, being awarded with different painting prizes.
