Ramon Enrich

P-GELD by Ramon Enrich - Geometric landscape painting, acrylic on canvas

2025

Catalan painter Ramón Enrich creates images both hypnotic and surreal that are filled with geometric and architectural shapes, including flat-roof homes, stair labyrinths and cone trees. His distinct, grid pattern style is reminiscent of building planning, and is joined with a sophisticated use of color and light.

Enrich began his art studies in 1985 at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona. He majored in graphic arts at the Gremi d’Arts Gràfiques de Catalunya and studied art history at the University of Barcelona. As a student, he traveled on school exchanges to the Beaux-Arts de Paris and Berlin’s University of the Arts before moving to the United States. He sought out American artist Donald Judd and English painter David Hockney and spent time learning from them at the Judd Foundation and the Chinati Foundation. 

Enrich wished to learn how to “organize one’s life as an artist.” His methodological approach is evident in his work, as he often begins a painting with a grid pattern and adds building structures according to the blueprint. While Enrich’s strict, sharp lines map his paintings, his use of warm colors and light offers a playful counterpoint, giving the work a serene sense of balance.

Enrich has exhibited his work in galleries worldwide for over three decades. Major museums with his art in their collections include the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt, Germany; the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa in Cape Town, South Africa; and the Museu-Arxiu de Sant Andreu de Llavaneres in Barcelona, Spain. Private collectors include David Hockney, English architect Norman Foster and the Donald Judd Collection. Companies like Spanish banks La Caixa and Banco Santander, the Spanish telecommunications company Fundación Telefónica and German investment banking company Deutsche Bank have also collected Enrich’s work.
