The October 6, 1993 dies of sudden death, caused by an aortic aneurysm.
Bequeathed to us a vast and rich pictorial work, surpassed only, according to his friends by his personal charm and human values only.
His artistic beginnings lie in the field of abstraction, but quickly abandoned that interest and tries to solve technical problems that arise in the figurative art. The rest of his intense and short professional career, devoted to figurative art. Is dumped in solving technical problems differently in the disciplines to which it is dedicated. The characters to be portrayed wearing luxurious clothes timeless, hiding sometimes behind venetian masks and being surrounding by fabrics damask.
The few contemporaries who are dedicated to the same thing, they do so from a focus purely of the time, devoting himself, among other things, the influences of photography and the new technologies in their works. Experience, based on your present: the contemporary world.
J. Torrents drenching the soul of the model or of the landscape to recreate it on the canvas, trying to convey his inner life, its spirituality, its essence. That sets it apart from its contemporaries united in addition to a remarkable capacity of synthesis and a power uptake of the reality out of the ordinary. The point of the composition and the skill of the art are fused with mastery in his work.
Luis Sagrera defined so admirable: “Of loose brushwork, agile, deeply marked, but with an admirable ability to change tempo as required in the treated area”.
He described the art world in which he lived as “within a huge confucianism, and plunged in a disparity of trends”.
He built his own present. I will tackle in a unique way their paint, achieving in little time and counter to put a dent in that confusing moment of art.
One of the things most surprising in his work is his independence, his freedom, his rebellion, his insatiable curiosity in the field of design, which makes it work with various agencies and firms, and design from scenarios for various plays until the logo is commemorative of an important to add a signature cava.
You have very clear what you want out of the art and runs away from conventions, is investigating a unique way in different fields, manufactures its own paints, makes his own colors and achieve a chromatic richness nothing usual in the paint. His brush strokes are wasting color, passion, and a deep and personal study of the model. Boasts a skill carefully learned, his pictures reflect this perception and development of a detail a fruit of the eye is privileged, a careful application of all his experience. Stealing, as expressed by Basilio Baltasar of each time what mattered most to him, what he could master with a master, whose example he wanted to find the masters of the renaissance.
Lanthemann, Art historian describes it:“... Torrents Lladó in your painting is just one more in the historical tradition of the great painters, which is manifested in their sensitivity to the color, depth psychology, and his clear philosophy of life. Often the public of our century, the question whether there is today, someone that know how to paint with the quality of the artists of great pictorial tradition european. We can answer: Yes, it is Torrens Lladó”

Mastered all the techniques (charcoal drawing, watercolor, oil etc) Maybe his worldwide fame reached in the portrait, coming to be regarded as one of the best portraitists of the TWENTIETH century, but his work in general makes it imperative to mention that when we talk about art in the TWENTIETH century.
