“Juan Genovés is a Spanish artist known for his distinctive style and his exploration of social and political themes in his artwork. He was born in Valencia in 1930 and began his artistic career in the 1950s.

Genovés is best known for his iconic figurative compositions featuring crowds of anonymous people.

During the 1960s and 1970s, Genovés’s work became associated with the protest movements and political activism of the time. His paintings reflected the social unrest and struggles for democracy that characterized Spain during that period.

Genovés’s art has been exhibited internationally, and his works can be found in prominent museums and collections around the world. He has received several awards and honors throughout his career, including the National Prize for Plastic Arts in Spain in 1984.

Throughout his long artistic trajectory, Genovés has continued to create thought-provoking and powerful artworks that invite viewers to reflect on the collective nature of society and the role of the individual within it.”
