Francesc Cabanas i Alibau (Barcelona, 1909 – Sant Cugat, 1985), who received his artistic training at the Baixas Academy in Barcelona, was a Fauvist-Impressionist-Expressionist painter, characterized by broad brushstrokes and great gestural vitality. His subject matter, landscapes and still lifes, constituted his essential pictorial language. The power of color was crucial in achieving the most expressive effects, along with the directionality of the brushstroke. He created a highly textured and beautiful style of painting, expressing all that surrounds humankind. He primarily painted landscapes of Catalonia, Castile, and Sant Cugat.
His Artwork is on permanent display at the Cabanas Foundation in Sant Cugat.
He held numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout Spain.
