Painter formed in the School of Arts and Trades of Sabadell and in the School of Fine Arts of Barcelona, Raimon Roca was a disciple of Vila Arrufat, with whom he learned the realization of murals and stained glass windows. In 1941 he exhibited for the first time at the Academy of Fine Arts of Sabadell, and since then exhibited his work in Barcelona, Bilbao and Madrid. From 1950 until the mid-sixties, Roca devoted himself mainly to mural painting, carrying out various religious groups in Begur, Hevia, Calella, Sabadell, etc., although he also made works on paper and designed some stained glass windows. In 1968 he resumed his exhibition activity in Bilbao, Barcelona and other Catalan towns. He exhibited at La Pinacoteca in Barcelona in 1978, and in 1984 at the Intel-lecte room in Sabadell.
