Roser Oliveras is a Catalan painter. Alongside painting, she has worked across multiple disciplines including poster design, printmaking, scenography, sculpture, and ceramics, developing a transversal and versatile practice. Her trajectory reflects an independent and critical position, shaped by a sustained engagement with her social context and, at times, marked by episodes of censorship.
Her work is rooted in a figurative language with an expressive character, in which she deploys a wide range of techniques. Her compositions are inhabited by characters of strong human presence, often rendered with a subtle sense of irony or a slightly burlesque tone, oscillating between everyday scenes and more theatrical situations, frequently set within nocturnal atmospheres.
She trained in printmaking at the Escola d’Art d’Olot and later at the Escola de Belles Arts in Barcelona. Throughout her career, she has exhibited in Girona, Barcelona, Madrid, San Sebastián, Andorra, Lausanne, Cannes, and Brussels, among other cities, and in the late 1980s she was part of the Public Projects group. Oliveras received the Spanish National Drawing Prize in 1966 (Alicante).
