20th century Spanish
 
Beulas’ love for painting can be traced back to his native village, where he started by capturing its landscapes and discovered the painting of the School of Olot, whose members were artists such as Joaquín Mir (1873—1940), Joaquín Vayreda (1843—1894) and Modest Urgell (1839—1919), and became conscious of the need to educate and train himself properly.
 
The time he spent in the province of Huesca, where he did his military service, proved fundamental for his later creation, as the landscape of Huesca would become the central theme of his work. After his marriage in 1946, he moved to live in Huesca and it was in this city where he built his studio in 1969 with the help of his friend the architect José María García de Paredes (1924—1990).
 
Thanks to a scholarship from the Provincial Council of Huesca, in 1948 he enrolled in the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in Madrid, where he was taught by Ramón Stolz (1903—1958) and Daniel Vázquez Díaz (1882—1969),  who were highly influential in his work, as were (1899—1982) and Benjamín Palencia (1894—1980). After this period, he received various scholarships and grants (Monasterio de El Paular, School of Fine Arts of Segovia, and Paris), and spent a decisive period of time at the Spanish Academy of Fine Arts in Rome (1955). Nevertheless, throughout this whole phase landscape would remain the abiding theme of Beulas’ painting.
 
After his stay in Italy, where he participated at the Venice Biennale, he obtained a scholarship from the Juan March Foundation (1960) which allowed him to become one of the most highly paid painters in Spain at the time, when he had many exhibitions, won several prizes and awards and received widespread recognition for his work.
 
His love for Huesca led him to donate part of his work and his estate to the city of Huesca in the early 1990s. This became the foundation stone for the Beulas Foundation and its CDAN (Art and Nature Centre), designed by the architect Rafael Moneo (1937).
