Painter and draughtsman, Perico Pastor began his training in Barcelona, later broadening his knowledge of art in New York. He lived in the American city for twelve years, during which time he published illustrations in "Harper's", "Vogue" and, above all, "The New York Times", works that allowed him to develop his painting freely. In 1980 he exhibited for the first time at the Cornelia Street Café, and during this decade he combined illustration with painting exhibitions in Spain, New York, Tokyo, Paris and Hong Kong, among other cities. He currently lives in Barcelona, where he devotes himself entirely to painting. In 1993 he was awarded the Morera Medal by Lleida City Council, and in 1997 the COE Special Prize at the Biennial of Sport in the Fine Arts. He is currently represented in the collections of the Caixa de Barcelona, the Testimoni de la Fundació Caixa de Pensions, the Marimura Art Museum in Tokyo, the collection of H.R.H. Prince Takamaro of Japan, Barcelona City Council, the Ministry of Justice in Madrid and the collection of the Bank of Spain, among others.
