BARCELONA, ESTIU DEL 1965
After a stay of six month in Eivissa, one of the Balearic islands in the Mediterranean sea, Rodríguez-Amat spent the summer in Barcelona. During the months of July and August, his work shows the desire to find a new way to give up the principles he has been using in the Eivissa works. So, the series of works painted in Eivissa was followed by a small series of paintings in which the human form appears and several studies showing the attempt for a non-representational painting.

His firsts attempts at non-representational art had taken place in Barcelona during the summerof the same year. But it was only from his time in Paris that the abstract conception of painting would be a new tool to be used in a natural way. |

His return to Paris in September causes the artist to question the spirit and principles that had allowed him to complete the series of painting done in Eivissa and Barcelona. A few months later, Rodríguez-Amat entered into a world in which all these principles would be completely challenged and overturned. |
