HIERRO, Emili

Born in Sabadell, Barcelona, in 1930, this watercolorist of nostalgia is a traveler through the elegant neighborhoods of Paris, London, Venice, Florence, Barcelona, Madrid... where he has been presenting his works for many years in highly successful solo exhibitions. His pictorial production stands out for its meticulous capture of historic facades, vintage storefronts, and monumental corners. Through his travels, he has portrayed the urban elegance of cities such as Paris, London, Venice, Florence, Madrid, and Barcelona. His technique combines the rigor and clean lines characteristic of architectural drawing with a refined treatment of light, glazes, and watercolor textures, managing to humanize structural elements and endow them with poetic sensitivity. He is particularly famous for his panoramic and landscape formats, where the extreme detail of old shops, signs, and architectural moldings becomes the main compositional protagonist. Throughout his long career, he has held numerous solo exhibitions in prestigious galleries, consolidating a loyal audience of collectors drawn to his balance between technical rigor and nostalgic memory.
