Josefa Tolrà is self-taught; she started drawing at the age of seventy, after the death of two of her children. Claiming to be a mediator of the spiritual world, she combines imaginary scenes, traditional beliefs, sacred and cosmic visions. Her mysterious figures sparked the interest of the poet Joan Brossa, the psychiatrist Joan Obiols and the painter Antoni Tapies. Unknown to the public, some of her works have been preserved by her daughter — because “given” by the “angels of light” to her mother — have resurfaced recently.
