Angel Bofarull

Ángel Bofarull (Barcelona, Spain, 1957). A distinguished artist in painting and collage, he holds a degree in Art History from the University of Barcelona. A self-taught artist, he gives his works a quality of thought, he creates small-format works in a wide variety of materials, using collage as Kurt Schwitters and Joseph Cornell did. A friend of Carlos Pazos, Luis Frnagella and Ramón Herreros, Bofarull is situated in the realm of lyrical poetry, his works being incisive short poems in which he alludes to feelings and emotions that do not fall into the literal. Hand-made poems that offer clues for a symbolic interpretation, but in such a perverse way, since the degree of internalization is so high, that in the end the one who interprets is the one who ends up portraying himself.
