His investigative research and document compilation
work, his respect for Art and Enamel in particular have made Andreu Vilasís one of the
leading world specialists in this discipline. He is very much in demand on an
international level, especially for his educational qualities. It is with education in mind that he undertook historical and
technical studies now materialized through articles and books such as "El Arte de
Esmaltar" (The Art of Enamelling, 1984) or "La Miniatura" (Miniature, 1989)
and through the creation and direction of the periodical "L’Esmalt"
(Enamel, since 1988).
His plastic work is on display in a number of Museums in Spain as
well as abroad and also liberally dispersed in private collections around the world. |
