Photographer Jaume Millán presents an exhibition at Sabadell's Casal Pere Quart until July 16th, where his works, inspired by Cuba and local settings, blend photography with painterly techniques.

After long hours of travel, Jaume Millán found an inexhaustible source of inspiration in Cuba through its classic cars and deteriorating architecture. This fascination is translated into his photographic exhibition, which can be visited at Sabadell's Casal Pere Quart until July 16th, sharing the space with creations from the collective Divergent.
Millán describes his style as that of a "photographer who paints," manipulating images to evoke the strokes of oil painting. This technique, influenced by his father's passion for pictorial art, imbues his photographs with texture, vibrant colors, and an aesthetic close to Impressionism, featuring unique compositions.
While some purists criticize the intensive use of digital manipulation, the collective Divergent welcomes both photographers who work naturally and those, like Millán, who use editing software such as Photoshop or Illustrator.
The exhibition also includes snapshots of Sabadell's scenery, offering unprecedented perspectives such as the Paddock with the snow-capped Montseny in the background, or images of Gràcia, la Mola, and plaça d’Ovidi Montllor, showcasing little-known views of the city.
