Apel-les Fenosa Florensa was one of the great Catalan sculptors linked to the School of Paris. Trained with Enric Casanovas, he settled early in Paris, where he came into contact with the avant-garde literary and artistic environment. After the Spanish Civil War he settled permanently in the French capital, developing a very personal sculptural language, focused on the female figure and organic forms with natural roots. His work was widely recognized internationally and today is represented in major museums and collections, including the Rodin Museum, which dedicated a major retrospective to him in 1980.
