Jordi Roig

Born in Lleida (Catalonia, Spain), he started working in the field of plastic arts from an early age, under the strong influence of his father, an artist well known for his paintings of the ballet world. He studied scenic arts, puppetry and dance at the Institut del Teatre de Barcelona. In the early 1987, he finished his dance career to devote his time to costume and set design. In that same year he was invited by the association of dance artists and sculptors of Paris to exhibit his work at the IV Biennale. Further studies brought him together with renowned Italian set and costume designer Ezio Frigerio.
