During Subirachs' stay in Barcelona (1987-2009), the artist created the sculptural decoration of the Passion Façade of the Expiatory Temple of the Sagrada Família, living and working under the same roof. This led to a series of lithographs inspired by the sculptural works he produced.
Trained between Barcelona and Paris, Subirachs has exhibited his work all over the world, and has won important awards such as the Sculpture Prize of the Salon del Jazz, the Grand Prix Saint George of the Diputació de Barcelona and the "Julio González" of the Barcelona Chamber of Art. In 1988 he was awarded the Medal of Merit in the Fine Arts. In 1980 he was elected member of the San Jorge Royal Academy of Fine Arts. He is represented at the Centro Reina Sofía, the MACBA Museums in Barcelona, Ibiza, Seville and New York, the Fine Arts Museums of Bilbao, Birmingham, the Vatican, Taipei and Nebraska, the Museo al Aire Libre del Paseo de la Castellana in Madrid, the Petit Palais Museum in Geneva and the Millesgärden in Stockholm, among others.
