Montserrat Gudiol began her career in the art world at her family’s medieval painting restoration studio, and since 1950 she has devoted herself to painting on panel and on paper. That same year, she held her first solo exhibition at the Casino de Ripoll (Girona). Just four years later, she made her international debut with a solo exhibition at the Miami Museum, and since then she has exhibited in Spain, South Africa, the United States, Russia, and Canada; among her awards, the Ynglada Guillot International Drawing Prize stands out. Her work is currently represented at MACBA, the Reina Sofía National Art Museum, the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum, the modern art museums in Johannesburg, San Diego, Miami, and Flint (U.S.), the Joseph Cantor Foundation in Indianapolis (U.S.), the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne (Switzerland), the Monastery of Montserrat, and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Sant Jordi.
