He was known professionally as Benet Rosell.

He was a Spanish artist.

He did drawing, engraving, performance, sculpture, film, music, theatre, and poetry were interwoven through Rossell’s work, creating an extremely personal conception in which the artwork is a process of constant reinvention.

He fashioned a poetics of fragility tinged with irony and a critical spirit, and delved into the micro-worlds that are generally ignored by the absolutist accounts of art history.

Nonetheless, though abstract in appearance, his work has a strong narrative component, which modestly and discreetly draws on the artist’s own biography.

He died in Barcelona, Spain due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
