Lluís Cots is a self-taught painter who was born and raised in an artistic family background—his father was a painter—so his artistic development began at a very early age. Later, in the late 1960s, he broadened his training through travels to major European cities: “You have to know the masters.”
In the early 1970s, Cots devoted himself fully to painting and began holding exhibitions, including: 1971, CRECELIUS Gallery, Tarragona; 1972, DA BARRA Gallery, Barcelona; 1973 and 1974, SUBEX Gallery, Barcelona; 1984, MAEGHT Gallery, Barcelona; 1987, ART GINESTA Gallery, Castelldefels (Barcelona); 1988, CAJA MADRID Exhibition Hall, Barcelona; 1989, Mímesis Gallery, Mataró; 1990, GRECA Gallery, Barcelona; 1991, SALA LIBROS, Zaragoza; 1992, “Barcelona besucht Berlin”, KUNSTAMT WEDDING, Berlin; 1993, URSULA FUNK Gallery, Barcelona; 1999, LINA DAVIDOV Gallery, Paris; 2001, CANALS Gallery, Sant Cugat (Barcelona); 2002, ALEJANDRO SALES Gallery, Barcelona; 2005, CARMEN TATCHÉ Gallery, Sant Feliu de Guíxols (Girona); 2017, EL CLAUSTRE Gallery, Figueres (Girona).
In the mid-1970s, Cots began creating a body of work marked by the combination of various factors: the social reality in which he lived, the issues and situations affecting the world, his vital need to absorb knowledge, and his desire to freely express his reflections, emotions, and feelings. This gave shape to his Series, through which he expresses his experiences regarding different moments and circumstances facing the world and their impact on our lives. Some Series consist of 14 or 15 works, while others include 120 or more.
In 2016-2017, Cots worked on the “Banquet” Series, clearly expressing the challenges of human coexistence: a world for everyone, not just a few; human dignity and decency.
The eternal factors of space and time form the coordinates where this much-needed social structure should be established.

Threshold of Presence Series: Thresholds 100x73 Muz-Martínez In Threshold of Presence, Muz-Martínez places us in that suspended instant between the visible and the intangible, where the figure seems to emerge and dissolve simultaneously. The Artwork is constructed from a constant tension between matter and emptiness, between gesture and silence. The face, barely suggested, does not seek to define itself but rather to be implied, as if it belonged to a liminal space where identity has not yet fully revealed itself. The layers of color, applied with a restrained yet firm gestural style, generate an emotional depth that transcends the purely formal. The composition breathes through subtle contrasts and glazes that invite the viewer to approach, to complete the image from their own perception. There is no closed narrative, but an open experience: a journey towards the essential. This Artwork is part of the Thresholds series, where the artist investigates the limits between the figurative and the abstract, proposing spaces for reflection in which presence is not affirmed, but rather intuited.
