Born in Barcelona in 1955, Jaume Plensa is one of the most imposing figures in the international landscape of sculpture. His work was recently exhibited at the Musée d’Art et d’Archéologie in Valence, and at the Fundación Telefónica in Madrid. In June 2025, Art Basel Unlimited presented a large installation by Plensa, confirming his global prominence. In autumn 2025, a major retrospective devoted to his oeuvre will be held at the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Michigan, one of the most prestigious sculpture parks in North America.

Plensa’s sculptures can be seen in public spaces around the world: "Crown Fountain" in Millennium Park in Chicago; "We" at the foot of the Shard in London; "Water’s Soul" in Jersey City overlooking the Hudson River; "Julia" on the Plaza de Colón in Madrid; "The House of Light" and Love in Taipei. In France, his works are seen in front of the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Caen, on the Port Vauban in Antibes, on the Place Massena in Nice, and on the Place des Ormeaux in Valence.
