During the 80's, Pijuan's work focused on very refined and essential landscapes, influenced by his environment in Catalonia. He painted fields, roads and horizons in a minimalist style, using large surfaces and a sober color palette. He did not seek to represent the landscape in detail, but rather to convey sensations of silence, space and contemplation.
Joan Hernández Pijuan trained in Barcelona and Paris. He has been awarded the Premio Nacional de Artes Plásticas, the Cruz de Sant Jordi and the Ciudad de Barcelona prize.
