The Artist: Jaume Laporta
Jaume Laporta was born in Barcelona in 1940 to a family with a long artistic tradition. He started painting when he was 14 years old. In 1957 he began studies at the Fine Arts School of the University of Barcelona. There he studied sculpture as well as painting, and ultimately graduated with a degree in painting. In 1967 Laporta worked as an Assistant Professor of Drawing at the Institute of Seville. Later on he became Professor of Painting at the Barcelona Institute. In the 1970’s Laporta was attracted to the singularity and beauty of the Mediterranean landscape and decided to settled down close to the beach. While drawing at the beach in 1981, he decided that from that moment he would dedicate his creative skill to capturing the seafaring world with the greatest artistic realism possible. In his oil and pastel paintings, Laporta tries to maintain a realistic feel while playing with his paints and brushstrokes and avoiding an excessive faithfulness to reality. Boats and fishermen’s items achieve a leading role in his works, his passion and skill filling them with life and being. Laporta’s work is widely exhibited and collected throughout Spain—in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Castellón, Gerona—and abroad in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Switzerland, Andorra, and Portugal, among other countries. His paintings are found in numerous public and private collections.
