Joan Carles Roca Sans employs a color palette dominated by soft greens, blues, and earth tones, evoking a sense of serenity and harmony. The artist’s style blends contemporary landscape painting with clear influences of Cubism and Post-Impressionism.

Artist biography Joan Carles Roca Sans (b. 1946, Barcelona) is a contemporary Catalan painter who has dedicated his career to reinterpreting Mediterranean landscapes, particularly the Ampurdán and Catalonian regions. Roca Sans began his artistic career in the 1970s, aligning himself with a tradition of artists who capture the essence of Mediterranean light. His style reflects influences from post-impressionism, with its vibrant and colorful brushstrokes, and the modernity of synthetic cubism, where forms are simplified into organized planes. Throughout his career, he has exhibited in galleries and art fairs in Barcelona, Girona, and other European cities. He is recognized for his ability to create serene and balanced works that are highly valued by collectors both nationally and internationally. Similar international artists 1.

Collector’s potential This artwork not only represents an iconic Catalonian landscape but also connects with international art movements that celebrate formal and chromatic synthesis.

It is a work with strong investment potential, ideal for art collectors and enthusiasts of modern Mediterranean landscapes.
