House / Studio Durancamps

House / Studio Durancamps is full of paintings of Rafael Durancamps and it is full of life. It is in an endeavor to represent the spirit of Durancamps that all corners of the flat that housed him contain the objects with which he lived. Maintained here, are the furniture, the personal articles such as the pipes that he smoked, his lenses, a sugar bowl that the maid gave to him when he married, as well as the equipment he used including the smock he wore to paint, that accompanied Durancamps throughout his life.
.
All that is here is an exact recreation of his residences of Sabadell, Paris and Barcelona. However, of all the rooms here, it is the studio of the painter that allows us to breathe in the art in a pure state.

Here is where a good part of his paintings emerged and became what they were to be. And, here also are the tools from which his paintings were formed: his trowels, his brushes, his colors, his engravings and also the chair where he sat to contemplate and create his work. His was an intense work in which no new work began if the previous work had not been finished. It is in this space that Rafael Durancamps passed most of his time, and not only painting but also reading or listening to music.

When he set out to paint he did so without limits, He entered the moment by studying the lights, the shades, the perspective and everything that he wanted to shape onto the canvass.

 

The House / Studio Durancamps is in Barcelona, on the Avenue Diagonal, 407, mezzanine 1ª
