About the Item
Quim Bove' first picked up a paintbrush when he was six, and hasn't put it down since. Born in the Catalonia region of Spain along the Pyrenees, he became fluent in Spanish, French and Catalan, in addition to English. Prior to his recent move to Arizona, Bove' was a window display director for Hermes in Southern France and Christian Dior in Barcelona before working at Saks Fifth Avenue, where his window displays enticed many to buy due to his creative eye. His multicultural background allows him to appreciate art in many forms. "You can forget everything in painting mode-it requires so much energy," comments Bove'. It's as though he's giving life to each of his paintings.
"Color is the most important thing," Bove' says. Using the palette of the Renaissance his techniques for achieving resplendent colorization involve the careful blending and layering of pigment. He thinks of his work as icons, embodying philosophical questions about man and the universe. His paintings are unified by a high gloss resin finish which adds a unique and interesting touch, allowing the viewer to see his or her reaction to the work in the work. His rich blend of color and shine elicit feelings of comfort and warmth.
It's not surprising that Bove' has painted commission pieces for the Phoenix Symphony, N'Sync, and is in public collections in Andorra and France. In the past twenty years, he has had over thirty public exhibitions and seven solo shows.
"Painting is part of my life, something I was born with that cannot be taken away," adds Bove'. "It is not something you discover or something you can stop. I have to paint, it is a part of me."
"My artwork translates the relationship between humanity and the universe through a metaphoric representation of flashes of the human mind in different stages. The energy is represented through color, the deepness of the sub-conscious, the questioning process through the reflection of the space and the reflection of the human mind inside each painting. My artwork is like the human mind, sequential; inherent in the sub-conscious."
This exhibition is like a puzzle with each piece fitting together to create a unique image. The technological creative process is done through different steps of working with layers of transparent colors and textures, using many conventional and innovative techniques. The use of the same frame format equals the three-dimensional concept applied to each painting.

Quim Bové
Quim Bové is a Catalan artist known for his symbolic, abstract paintings executed through his dynamic brush strokes reflected across his collections. Much of Quim’s early influence came from compatriot painters like Dali, Miro, Picasso and Tapies; however, the interest in the abstraction lead him to connect with American Abstract expressionist movement as well. Quim took a stance against what he believed to be a rigid academic system of the arts and therefore began his self-taught training as a painter in 1978. Quim thought his inspiration and creativity could not be corrupted with others criterion or academic rules; he kept this mentality after his earlier academic experience. Despite his position towards academia, he had a rigorous self-teaching method derived from Master Painter’s manifestos and techniques. The pivotal point in his career that changed his philosophy of his artwork and also his technique happened when he moved to what he claimed to be a place of great mystical power and energy, the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, USA. This important event brought about the beginning of his inspiration behind the relationship of beings, the energies that surround them and the connection to the metaphysical forces of the universe; therefore, constituting his symbolic abstract signature style. His restlessness for experimenting with different techniques has evolved and culminated into his unique and distinctive style which he describes as his own calligraphy. This is represented throughout his most recent series: “Architecture of the Universe.” He developed and refined a sophisticated layering technique that creates depth transcending the two-dimensional form of the painting, resulting in a powerful and complex surface in which the reflection of the spectator becomes part of the art piece thus creating a visual dialogue. Quim Bové participated in over thirty solo exhibitions and numerous group exhibitions. In 1995 he founded a conceptual art group “Andorran Currency” which at the time depicted the country’s political landscape. He exhibited his works in multiple international gallery venues and collected in private and public collections including but not limited: Los Angeles New York Chicago Miami Boston San Francisco Phoenix Seattle Atlanta Scottsdale Denver Santa Fe Kansas City Toronto Barcelona Zaragoza Vitoria Tarragona Lleida Nice Spain France Japan Italy Germany U.K. U.S.A. Mexico Canada U.A.E. China Principality of Monaco Andorra Liechtenstein
