Eusebio Sempere

Eusebio Sempere was a Spanish artist. He was born in Onil, Alicante, in 1923 and died in Alicante in 1985. He studied at the San Carlos School of Fine Arts in Valencia. In 1948, he went to Paris with a grant that allowed him to see modern European art closely. There, he came into contact with styles linked to geometric abstraction, light, and visual research.

His work included painting, screen printing, gouache, sculpture, and light reliefs. He was a key figure in Spanish abstract art in the second half of the 20th century. His style was based on lines, geometric forms, optical effects, transparencies, movement, and light. He also worked with Abel Martín on the development of screen printing, an important technique in his graphic work.

His work is part of collections such as the Museo Reina Sofía, IVAM, Fundación Juan March, Museo de Arte Abstracto Español de Cuenca, MACA in Alicante, Banco de España Collection, and MoMA. His confirmed awards include the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts in 1980, the Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts in 1983, the Alfons Roig Award in 1983, and his appointment as honorary academic by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Carlos in Valencia in 1984.
