Ramon Vilanova (1947-) is a Spanish painter. Born in 1947 to a blue-collar family in a small town outside Barcelona. It was in this fertile land of northeastern Spain that Villanova found his inspiration. Although his parents discouraged him from pursuing a career as an artist, his desire for painting was too strong. The self-taught artist has clearly accomplished his mission in the most amazing way. His paintings depicting the Catalan countryside in his hometown, as well as paintings depicting Mallorca and Minorca, have won critical acclaim and have been exhibited in museums across Europe.
