Joan Comas Pausas (Vilafranca del Penedès, 25 June 1913 – 3 April 2009) was a Spanish painter, menswear trader and technical architect. == Biography == Joan Comas Pausas was born in Vilafranca del Penedès in Barcelona Province, Catalonia, Spain. He was the son of Antonio Comas Torregrosa and Josefa Pausas Rovira. Orphaned at the age of fourteen, he moved to Barcelona where he became interested in fine arts: painting, drawing and antiquities. Barcelona was the city where he developed artistically. He attended drawing lessons with the painter Juan Lahosa at Baixas Academy.〔Lina Font, ''Guía del Arte 1/1982'', p. 158. Luís Porcel, Barcelona.〕 Comas-Pausas worked in a men’s outfitter as an apprentice until 1944 when he went back to Vilafranca and opened his own business. From 1961 he worked also as a freelance technical architect, after finishing the appropriate studies. In those years Comas-Pausas could only spend a little time on his favourite hobby - painting. Nevertheless, in 1955 he received a prize for an oil painting on a panel. He continued to train on his own and his work was distributed privately. It was not until 1976 that he began to exhibit his work in public, mainly using watercolour. In this same year, as part of the celebration of the "Centenary of Hiking in Catalonia", Comas-Pausas exhibited 27 watercolours in Vilafranca Museum. A critic thus described the painting of Comas-Pausas: "Comas' landscapes ooze light; and only the sensitivity of a person that loves nature can combine with such fidelity the shades of what forms the essence of our countryside - that lonely little church, the human element that year by year becomes part of the landscape, the loneliness of the Pyrenean lakes, dead nature (paradoxically full of life) in dry trees killed by the storms, or the outburst of colour in plants and rocks. And above it all, those gloomy or serenely cloudy skies, a kaleidoscope that we ramblers are used to contemplating, and that Comas-Pausas knows so well how to reflect".〔Butlletí del Centre Excursionista del Penedès, January–February 1977.
