Narcís Comadira

Narcís Comadira i Moragriega (born in Girona on January 22, 1942) is a Spanish poet, painter, playwright, translator, journalist and literary critic. His poetry is rather classical in nature, with a contemplative theme and a certain ironic point of view. As a painter, he understands his work as an extension of poetry. His first works show references to surrealism and pop culture, as well as his master Domènec Fita. In the late 70's he left the figurative painting to begin to represent nature and architecture, specializing in a very personal landscape and marked by realism, which in his latest work is leading to a synthesis of it, where fewer and fewer elements appear in his works.

In the Spanish municipal elections of 2015 he occupied the last position of the list of the Popular Unity Candidacy in Girona. In the 2015 elections to the Parliament of Catalonia, he was part of the electoral list of the Popular Unity Candidacy.
