BIOGRAPHY

Pau Morales was born in Girona, Spain in 1977. He has always loved painting but it was when he was taught by the painter Quim Caromines in the ‘La Mercé’ Cultural Centre in 1989 that he began to think seriously about painting. While studying at the centre he won two important awards sponsored by the Catalonian council and he decided to study art in University.

Morales completed his degree in 1999 and began working as an art teacher in secondary school. He also rented a small studio and began working on his first jazz-themed exhibitions. The numerous jazz festivals around the country provided him with the opportunity to exhibit in Girona, Figuerese, Terrassa and Barcelona.

In 2003, after spending 4 years dividing his time between painting and teaching, he decided it was time to dedicate himself full-time to his artistic career. He won a scholarship from the Fita Foundation which enabled him to rent a bigger studio and expand his network base. He has been exhibiting successfully ever since.
