Rafael Amorós

Rafael Amorós (Valencia) is an artist trained at the Faculty of Fine Arts of San Carlos. His first steps were in painting, drawing, and engraving, disciplines that marked the beginning of his career before sculpture became the central focus of his work. In 1987, he lived in the house-studio of the painter Antoni Miró, for whom he produced various editions of prints, and in 1995, part of his graphic production became part of the collection of the National Library of Spain. Since then, Amorós has consolidated a career marked by constant evolution and openness to new discoveries. He himself defines his sculptural work as “the text I would like to write, the music I would like to compose, and the dance I would like to dance.” In his pieces, he seeks to reflect his way of being in the world, pursuing simplicity, balance, and elegance as the axes of a personal poetics. His work, restless and in constant search, also manifests a social commitment through free approaches that are evident in the different series developed throughout his career. Since 1983, he has participated in numerous individual and collective exhibitions in cities such as Valencia, Barcelona, Alicante, Madrid, Santander, Belgrade, Stuttgart, Vienna, Ghent, Tangier, Casablanca, or Bergamo. In the last ten years, although he has focused much of his energy on studio production, his work has remained present in the artistic circuit, with notable appearances at international fairs such as Art Madrid and JustMad in 2019. Today, Amorós continues to develop his facet as a sculptor with an increasingly refined language, where technique, sensitivity, and an unmistakable sense of aesthetic balance converge.
