Xavier Escribà studied art in Barcelona (Sant Jordi Fine Arts College, University of Barcelona) and later in Paris (Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris). He lived in Paris for over ten years and started his career there.
His pictorial development, described as “imaginative and original” by critic Maria-Luïsa Borràs, might be described as a continuation of the French Support-Surface movement.
Since 2000, he has exhibited regularly in France and Spain and is present on the international scene at fairs such as Fiac, Arco, The Armory Show, ArtBasel, ArtCologne, etc.
He lives and works in Catalonia.
