I am not very interested in painting, so I do not have a favourite painter. However I like the way some painters do. One famous Catalan painter I like is Joan Miró.
Joan Miró i Ferrà was born the 20th April 1893 in Barcelona and died the 25th December 1983 in Palma de Malloca. He was a painter, a sculptor, ceramist and engraver. He is considerate one of the exponents of the surrealism, a sandbox for the subconscious mind, a re-creation of the childlike, and a manifestation of Catalan pride. In numerous interviews dating from the 1930s onwards, Miró expressed contempt for conventional painting methods as a way of supporting bourgeois society, and famously declared an “assassination of painting” in favour of upsetting the visual elements of established painting.
