His first paintings were realistic and he also worked with ceramics, and little by little he took on an abstract style with African influences and stylized characters. It is influenced by Joan Miró and Paul Klee. Almost all of his work is inspired by and nourished by the spiritual relationship with God. This is shown by the titles of his paintings and all his particular iconography. In the stage of maturity it is when it works more with the pictorial technique of the encaustic one.

Artist biography
Sergi Barnils
Sergi Barnils i Basomba és un pintor català nascut a Bata (Guinea Equatorial) l’any 1954 que treballa al seu estudi de Sant Cugat del Vallès.
El 1965 va començar a estudiar al Departament d’Art de Viaró amb Francesc Casademont. Després de guanyar dos premis extraordinaris en el VIII Certamen Nacional i Provincial Juvenil d’Art de Barcelona i després d’estudiar, entre altres centres, a l’Escola del Treball de Barcelona, el 1975 va cursar estudis a la Facultat de Belles Arts d’aquesta ciutat.
Les seves primeres pintures eren realistes i també va treballar amb ceràmica, i de mica en mica va anar agafant un estil abstracte amb influències africanes i personatges estilitzats. Rep influències de Joan Miró i Paul Klee. Gairebé tota la seva obra s’inspira en la relació espiritual amb Déu i se’n nodreix. Així ho demostren els títols de les seves pintures i tota la seva iconografia particular. En l’etapa de maduresa és quan més treballa amb la tècnica pictòrica de l’encàustica.
