Juan García Ripollés —known as Ripollés—, was born in Alzira (Valencia, Spain) in 1932. His mother's death in childbirth led him to Castellón de la Plana. His early years were not easy: he gathered horse dung, worked as a scrap dealer, and painted with a broad brush, until he moved to Paris in 1954. He wanted to be a painter. And there he achieved it. Four years after his arrival, he managed to hang his paintings in the prestigious Drouand David gallery, the same one that had exhibited Picasso and Chagall. Since his return to Spain in the 1960s, his workshop has been nature. Today, at 92, it remains so: he paints in the orchard of his mansion in the small hamlet of Mas de Flors, in the province of Castellón. Over the last five decades, his canvases and prints have been shown in the best galleries and museums of Amsterdam, New York, Tokyo or Beijing. His large-format sculptures have been installed in parks and in the main streets and squares of Madrid, Seville, Valencia, Lisbon, Venice, Verona, Hertogenbosch or Beijing.
