Xevi Vilaró is me. A bloke who lives at La Cellera and who likes mountains, who sails against the wind a bit and is a friend to his friends. And paints. Due to certain coincidences of life, paints. |
| About the Artist | |
In the working of the idea that I have, I look for the background landscape and go about composing what I’m going to put there to find the final result. |

| Education and biography | |
| When you’re small, there are children there who don’t like studying, and they don’t educate you in a natural way. The fact that they evaluate you is horrible. That they evaluate a child, I find it terrible. It may be that a child doesn’t like maths, and doesn’t like studying, you know? I don’t like studying at all, but on the other hand I got high marks in arts and crafts. That was the only thing I got high marks in. In all the other stuff it was a big fat zero. It’s very harsh when they grind you down like that. It’s like for example if they did that with cinema, and based on that, there would be laws determining whether you say the film is good or bad, and which colour the protagonist’s car should be. I remember that when I studied history, they made us study irrelevant facts that have never done me any good as a person, you know? I don’t see it as a way to train somebody’s memory. I think the education we received was awful. |

| I’m painting these people who ride on fishes, the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. On each painting there forms part of man’s history, sliding towards its conclusion; they are destroying humanity. The humanity that forms part of nature, but greed has severed that link. Anyway, that’s my idea. For me, the paintings have a meaning, but then it’s for other people to take it where they want. I find that people’s reasons for finding and looking at a painting for the first time are as reasonable and licit as mine, even though that might have nothing to do with it. Their reasons could be even cooler, because everyone runs their own show… |
