‘A place of silence, contemplation, and beauty can also become a form of resistance,’ in conversation with Catalan artist Jaume Amigó

Jaume Amigó, a Catalan painter born in Barcelona in 1963, tells Global Voices that his work — abstracted landscapes drawn from Japan, Morocco and his home region of La Noguera — functions as a form of resistance through silence and beauty rather than direct engagement with current events.

Amigó describes a process built on memory and intuition: he paints scenes recalled from travel, discards most of what he remembers, and keeps only fragments that survive the editing of time. He also works in sculpture, ceramics and printmaking, and has exhibited in Japan, Morocco, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
