Montserrat Gudiol was born in Barcelona in 1933 in a family where art and music were vital and everyday. The daughter of an architect – historian and teacher of Catalan art, she studied the restoration of old paintings, paying special attention to painting on wood and paper. In 1981, Montserrat entered the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Sant Jordi.

In 1988, she received the Cross of St. George and became a member of the Catalan Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Sant Jordi. We can highlight other awards and prizes of Montserrat, but behind all this there are years of work, even a struggle with herself, tireless persistence to find a personal pictorial language, avoiding any style and fashion, knowing that there is no middle ground in art.
