Painting by artist Roman Ribera Sirela (1848 - 1935).

Painting by Spanish Catalan artist Roman Ribera Sirella.

Artist Roman Ribera Cirera was born in Barcelona in December 1848. He studied the basics of painting at the private art academy of the famous Spanish painter, watercolor and graphic artist Pere Borrell del Caso.

In 1873, Romain Ribera Silera came to Rome, where he continued to improve his skills as a painter, became acquainted with famous Italian artists, and became particularly close friends with Mariano Fortuni, who had a major influence on Sileira's work.

Subsequently, the artist settled in Paris, but the impressionism that was popular at the time did not fascinate the Roman Silera – for the young Spanish painter, the art of the academic direction was the direction he pursued.

In 1878, Roman Ribera Sirella exhibited several watercolors at the World's Fair in Barcelona.

In 1889, the artist left Paris to return home and began regularly exhibiting his paintings at Sala Pares, one of the oldest galleries in Barcelona, and regularly exhibiting his paintings in exhibitions in Madrid.

Romain Ribera Sirella died in Barcelona in May 1935.
