Enric Majoral

Sabadell, 1949

Enric Majoral, craftsman and artist, was born in Sabadell (Barcelona) in 1949 and since 1972 has lived and worked between Formentera and Barcelona. Self-taught, he has made jewellery since 1974, and in 1984 he was a founding member of the La Mola Art and Craft Fair in Formentera. Ancient Mediterranean culture, and the island of Formentera in particular, lie at the heart of the Majoral universe: from nature to architecture, through traditional jewellery, ways of life, myths and the craft of an age-old and enduring culture. Enric Majoral connects this anthropological foundation with modernity and urban culture, creating a dialogue between tradition, innovation and experimentation.
