Aguasca Sole Gemma | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Originally from Barcelona, Gemma studied for a double degree in sculpture at the Faculty of Fine Arts and illustration at the LLotja School. Having a mother (the artist Montserrat Solé Torrens) who was a painter probably unconsciously guided her in her choices. After graduation, she held several jobs while continuing with her artistic activities. She began painting t-shirts with a friend, and what should have been a little sideline activity, turned into a full-time occupation for ten years. Along with her work, she received commissions for illustrations and exhibited in bars and restaurants in the Catalan capital. At the age of thirty-four, she decided to change her life. She left her hometown and moved to a small village on the island of Mallorca in the Balearic Islands where she devoted herself entirely to her passion.
