Ángela Barbi – Spain

Ángela Barbi (Girona, Spain) is a visual artist specializing in watercolor and painting. Her

career merges a long-standing background as an educator and cultural manager with her

artistic development, focused on color, expression, and mixed techniques.

From a very young age, she felt a deep passion for drawing and painting. She later studied

classical drawing and expressionist painting, while delving into color theory inspired by

Goethe. Her artistic practice is defined by a free and expressive approach, in which emotion

and the creative process play a central role. As she herself states: “I love painting mainly

in an abstract way, using different techniques and media. My pleasure lies more in

expressing what I feel than in representing reality.”

For more than 25 years, she worked as an English teacher, an experience that provided her

with a solid pedagogical foundation and led her to coordinate international educational

exchange projects. In 2005, she decided to devote herself fully to art and founded EPC Art

Courses (Enjoy Painting Catalonia), a platform that organizes workshops and “watercolor

holidays” in Spain and other countries, in collaboration with renowned watercolor masters.

She is the founder of IWS Spain and has served as a juror in international watercolor

competitions, as well as collaborating with delegations of the International Watercolour

Society in various countries. She has exhibited both collectively and individually in Europe,

Asia, and the Americas, integrating her personal work into the international art scene while

combining her artistic production with an intense commitment to teaching and promoting

art.
