Teresa Llacer was born in Mont-roig del Camp, Tarragona, in 1932. She took her first painting and drawing classes at the Sant Jordi School of Fine Arts, in Barcelona. Teresa's life and artistic career has always been marked by eagerness and reflection, her professional career split between the practicing of art and teaching, the later due to family heritage and tradition. She is a Doctor in Fine Arts, a Full Professor of the Faculty of Fine Arts of Barcelona and a Merit fellow of the Royal Art Circle of Barcelona. Her long career has been shaped by exhibits, courses, awards and travels and her works have been discussed by numerous critics, art historians and writers. Themes and contents in the works of Teresa Llacer stem from the modern figurative tradition of european painting. They are an exercise in freedom, where the artist re-encounters the deep dimension of life and all things.
