Born in 1927, Carlos Nadal spent the initial years of his life in Paris. There, his father, who ran a commercial atelier, had connections with established Montparnasse artists like Maurice Utrillo, Raoul Dufy, and Henri Matisse. This was a period crucial to his artistic development, when the young Nadal was exposed to Fauvist techniques that would influence his own artistic style.
In 1921, at the age of five, Nadal's family relocated to Barcelona, where he honed his artistic skills. Nadal joined the Catalan artistic circle, Cercles Artistis de Sant Lluc, at the age of 16, which provided him a platform for artistic discourse and exhibition opportunities.
After the Spanish Civil War and World War II, Nadal ventured to Paris with a modest scholarship to study at the Academy of the "Grande Chaumier". Paris at this time was undergoing a revitalization, and became a hub for artists and intellectuals who gathered in Montparnasse cafés to discuss new concepts and philosophies. Nadal further developed as a Fauvist painter during this time, applying these techniques to traditional subjects like still lifes, landscapes, and interiors. He continued to paint in this vibrant and colorful style until his passing in 1998.
