Joan Comas Pausas (Vilafranca del Penedès, 25 June 1913 – 3 April 2009) was a Spanish painter, menswear trader and technical architect.
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.
The painting is descriptive and easy to read, the composition carefully worked out, the range of colours harmonious and nuanced, all the result of a thrilled sensitivity to nature.
[1] Comas-Pausas also painted urban themes, mainly in Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria and the Netherlands, and visited art galleries to study the pictorial works.
He exhibited privately in Vilanova i la Geltrú, Vilafranca del Penedès, Olot, Martorell, Ripoll, Molins de Rei, Igualada, El Vendrell, Begues and Barcelona (at Mayte Muñoz gallery and at the Technical Architects Association).
