José Fiol (Palma, Mallorca, 1978) is a visual artist whose work is recognised for his ability to explore and resignify collective memory through the reconfiguration of images. His studies at the Centro de Estudios Fotográficos in Palma marked the beginning of a path along which the use of archival material and visual resignification became the foundations of his work. Based on an approach that mixes pictorial figurative collage and conceptual collage, Fiol has created an artistic space where images become catalysts for new interpretations and contemporary discourses.

His work has been presented in exhibitions both nationally and internationally. His solo projects include the 34th Sant Marçal Painting Contest in Marratxí (2023) and exhibitions held at Galeria Fran Reus in Palma (2022 and 2019). Fiol’s work has also participated in important group exhibitions held at Es Baluard Museu (2019), Casal Solleric (2019) and the Whitebox Art Center in Beijing (2018).

He has received several grants and awards, including the Creation Grant from the Institut d’Estudis Baleàrics (2022), the 10th Vila de Santanyí Francisco Bernareggi Prize for Visual Arts (2022), the 34th Sant Marçal Painting Contest award (2021), the Creation and Research Grant from the Palma City Council and Fundació Joan Miró (2020) and the artist residency at the Whitebox Art Center in Beijing (2018).
