Domènec Soberano

Thanks to an improvement his father invented for the process of making sparkling wine, he was able to travel throughout Europe.

In 1866, he converted the family business from a wine warehouse to the production of "Champagne de Reus", under the name Soberano & Cia.

[1] During his trips, he developed an interest in painting techniques and discovered watercolors, which were little known in Catalonia at the time.

Soberano was his first painting instructor and, seeing his great potential, recommended him to the sculptor, Domènec Talarn [ca], who brought him to Barcelona.

His son, Càstul Soberano Roca [ca], was also a promising painter, but died young.
