La Vilella Baixa

Sefa Ferré Alsina (1938) Daughter of the artist and painter Josep Ferré Revascall (1907-2001) from whom she received her first lessons and artistic stimuli. She graduated in Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona (1962) and continued her studies and specialized in Engraving at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts in Paris. In 1968 she became teacher of Drawing at the Antoni Gaudí sixth-form college. She have work on permanent show in the Marjorie Parr Gallery in London, paintings in the Museum of Modern Art in Barcelona and in the collections of the city councils of Barcelona and Tarragona, among other public administrations, and in the head offices of organitations, entities, museums, galleries and private collections in Catalonia, rest of Spain, Chicago, Mexico, London, Paris and Japan.  She have shaped a preferential image of the world she have loved and painted. The favorite landscapes she have represented are the Priorat, Tuscany, France, New York, Costa Brava and the Coll de Lilla in Camp de Tarragona. This painting La Vilella Baixa (Priorat) would perhaps become the model of a complete oeuvre of architectural representation: Positano, Vall-de-roures, Albarracín and Ibiza would have de same structure, a pyramidal geometrical figure that captures the light an color and in which we know life stirs, even though the inhabitants do not appear. The inhabitants of Sefa Ferré’s Landscape are always scheduled inside the architecture, with difficult accesses.
