was born in 1965 in the Catalonia region near Olot, Spain, at San Feliu de Pallerols. In this city, some 125 years ago, the painter Joaquim Vayreda initiated the Olotina Landscape School. This assured that young Joan was raised amid a rich artistic heritage of his family and the inspirational landscape tradition immediately surrounding him. Colomer first learned to paint alongside his two brothers under the instruction of their father. Shaped by the pastoral countryside of deep forests and roving hills typical to the Olotina Landscape School a contemporary fo the Barbizon school, Colomer is most known for his brilliant vistas capturing complex nuances of light. After extensive traveles, in 1990, he settled in Madrid to attend the School of Beaux Arts, and began exhibiting his works in Barcelona and Madrid, and now Colomer's paintings are shown in galleries around the world. He now resides in the countryside with his wife and two children.
