Jordi Prat Pons is a contemporary Spanish painter known for his unique approach that combines originality, craftsmanship, and a deep sense of humanity. His art is distinguished by a poetic spontaneity and a silent musicality, captured through brilliant execution. Prat Pons creates a textured universe using fragments of billboards, posters, and newspapers, breathing new life into his works and imbuing them with a striking sense of contemporaneity. This effect is particularly evident in his series centered around classical sculptures, where he juxtaposes classical themes with modern materials.
One of Prat Pons' notable traits is his commitment to elevating overlooked or discarded objects. His series featuring vintage advertising posters from the 1950s to the 1970s highlights his ability to dignify the past, exalting everyday items that time has left behind. While his style has hints of hyper-realism and echoes elements of pop art, his work takes a different path—one that is free of criticism toward mass consumption or commercial culture. Instead, Prat Pons focuses on the beauty of forgotten icons, celebrating the everyday through a refined and contemporary lens.
