Renowned for the diversity of his work, Miquel Barceló’s oeuvre ranges from monumental terracotta murals for the chapel of Saint Peter inside the Cathedral of Palma de Mallorca to a performance piece/living sculpture with the French Serbian-born choreographer Josef Nadj. In 2008 he created the ceiling painting for Chamber XX of the Human Rights and Alliance of Civilizations, at the United Nations offices in Geneva, covering the 1500m2 ellipsoidal dome with 35 tons of paint of pigments from all corners of the globe creating multi-coloured stalactite forms.

Deeply influenced by poetry, Barceló showed over 300 drawings at the Musée du Louvre illustrating Dante’s Divine Comedy in 2004. Five years later, he represented Spain at the 53rd Venice Biennale. In addition, retrospectives had been organized at renowned institutions, such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid and the Museo Rufino Tamayo in Mexico.
