I met Pep in the 90s when he was a pioneer in interactive production in Barcelona and he often commissioned me to create designs. A photograph of Miles Davis presided over his office. We immediately connected. Now we're neighbours and we spend a lot of time talking about art, music and life at his studio in La Floresta. Pep defines himself as an art worker, because the term "artist" makes him uncomfortable. It is a good definition, because his artistic restlessness has him constantly active: when he has not yet finished a project, he is already planning a couple more. His graphic work is therefore abundant, and in constant evolution. Behind every drawing, painting or printing, there is a demanding formal concern but also a rich discourse, often surprising. This coherence is, for me, the best of his work.
Pep Puig has worked as a designer, draftsman, layout artist, editor, photographer, director and video producer. He has collaborated with newspapers such as Mundo Diario, El Noticiero Universal, El Periódico, El Món and Diario de Barcelona. In 1984 he founded the video production company Clara Films and in 1989 Interacción, a pioneering company in the creation of interactive media. In 2003 he set up an industrial design studio and Bitenberg, a new interactive production company. In 2012 he collaborates in the creation of the art therapy centre Espai 21. He is currently working on his own artistic creations.
