Roch Minué was formed in the School of Fine Arts of San Carlos, where he received the Roig Prize of Landscape, and later he extended his studies in Granada thanks to a scholarship. In 1930 he exhibited for the first time at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Valencia, and the following year he visited Paris. He continued to show his work in various exhibitions, and participated in official exhibitions such as the Regional of Valencia in 1935, where he won the third medal, or the Salón de Otoño de Palma, where he was awarded on several occasions. In 1987 the Bennàssar Gallery, in Port Pollença, organized a tribute exhibition to mark the tenth anniversary of his death, and in 1994 his work was selected for the exhibition "A century of Valencian painting. 1880-1980", presented at the IVAM. Likewise, in 2003 the Dionís Bennàsar Foundation of Pollença dedicated a large monographic exhibition to him.
