Simó Consola

Dolors Simó Consola was born in Lleida in 1957, in Catalonia. She worked in the woodworking profession by family tradition but since very young her passion was to be able to devote herself to art she studied mural painting at the Escola de la Llotja in Barcelona.

The main theme of her pictorial work is interest in the human being. The dealings with multiple people of different ages in both the near and professional environment have offered a wide range of information through observation. Dolors Simó has reinforced her research with knowledge of philosophical, pedagogical and anthropological basis.

Throughout her career, the artist analyzes how we are, why we behave in a certain way and not in another, how we interact with each other, how we feel ... it is a work that addresses the human in the physical and metaphysical field. Her human figure, stylized and of a very personal style, has become the language of her artistic expression.

Dolors Simó has worked as a drawing, painting and mosaic teacher for 30 years as well as a specialist trencadís mosaic artist having made mosaics in Catalonia and abroad for 37 years. She has the record of the woman who has made more mosaics in the world.

Her pictorial work has been exhibited internationally, to highlight: at The National Art Center in Tokyo, at Hotel Armani in Dubai, at Beijing Contemporary Art Expo in China and at the Louvre in Paris.

Dolors Simó currently lives and paints in a rural area of her homeland. The contact with nature and silence are indispensable elements to continue performing her art.
