Antoni Tapies
Antoni Tàpies (Spain, 1923–2012) was a Catalan painter, sculptor, and art theorist renowned for his abstract works that incorporated unconventional materials like sand, marble dust, and found objects. A leading figure in Art Informel, his textured surfaces and symbolic motifs explored themes of materiality and spirituality. Tàpies co-founded the avant-garde group Dau al Set and received numerous accolades, including the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale.

What is automatism?
Automatism refers to a technique in the creative process that accesses material from the unconscious or subconscious mind. It is based on Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic method of free association. Artists value this process for its ability to inspire creative thought and spontaneous creation.
