Artist of the Day, August 3, 2026 : Magí Puig, a Spanish painter (#2595)

Magí Puig (1966) was born in the Catalonian village of Palou, Spain. Completing his artistic training at the Sant-Jordi University of Fine Arts in 1989, he later pursued advanced studies at the Winchester School of Art in the UK. He currently lives and works in Tàrrega, Spain.

From a young age, Puig has been passionate about drawing. Fueled by an urgent necessity to channel and interpret the world around him, painting eventually provided the ideal outlet for his creative impulses. Recurring themes in the work of Puig include scenes of daily life within a local and international context. The study of the human figure and the interplay of light also form important considerations, evidenced in the plein-air scenes of beaches, markets, and those depicting the intimacy of familial life.

The painter defines himself as an alchemist that distills the essence of a complex reality in order to offer his own essence: a perfume that goes beyond the mere appearance of color and searches for the soul of objects.
