After initiating his formation in the Academy Baixas of Barcelona, Calsina enters in 1920 in the School of La Lonja, where he was disciple of Feliu Mestres. He made his individual debut in 1930 at the Sala Parés, and the following year he exhibited his works in Paris. Of special importance were the anthologies he held in Barcelona in 1957 and 1966. In 1964 he won the Ynglada-Guillot International Drawing Prize, and in 1990 he was awarded the Sant Jordi Cross. In 1984 a large group of poets, writers, artists and intellectuals made a social call for the recognition of Calsina, as a result of which the Caja de Ahorros de Barcelona, with the collaboration of the Generalitat de Catalunya, dedicated an anthological exhibition to him. In 1990 another one was held at the Centro Conde Duque in Madrid, with the collaboration of the City Council. He is represented in several Spanish museums, as well as in important private collections. In 2009 the Ramón Calsina Foundation was created, promoted by his heirs.
