LLUIS CERA
Biografia
Lluis Cera was born in Barcelona in 1967, and graduated in 1993 in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona, specialising in sculpture. He has been awarded several prizes including First Prize for his sculpture Bancaja in 2001; he was also selected for the Miquel Casablanca Prize 1987 and the Certamen Itinerario escultorico (Sculptural Itinerary Contest) of alava in 2001. Lluis Cera has extensive expertise and experience in marble and metal carving techniques and is able to give these materials an extraordinary and unusual impression of softness and flexibility. His first sculptural works showed a more figurative influence, gradually becoming more abstract in form, with the insertion of literary texts and musical scores. He has held a large number of exhibitions in Europe, United States, Asia and Oceania.
