Spanish artist Josep Pla-Narbona is renowned for his upbeat work that comfortably fuses graphic design with fine art. Beginning a career in design working as an apprentice alongside the likes of Josep Artigas, in 1958 Pla-Narbona set up his own studio, which has since won multiple awards including the National Design Award and Sant Jordi prizegranted by the Artistic Circle of Sant Lluc for drawing and painting.
Creating designs for everything from wine to Spain itself—with work for the Ministry of Tourism and Information—the artist injects light-hearted tone and an undeniable trace of the human hand.
