However, what truly sets his story apart is an unusual UFO encounter that radically changed his artistic production.
Llimós' Artistic Journey
Llimós began his career in the 1960s, a period of intense transformation in contemporary art. He actively participated in the "New Catalan Figuration" movement, exploring new forms of expression and distancing himself from traditional artistic currents.
His work is characterized by an expressive approach and the use of varied techniques. His pieces often depict stylized human figures in an expressionist style, combining geometric shapes and vibrant colors. Additionally, Llimós explored social and contemporary themes in his art.
One of his most iconic works is the sculpture "Marc," created for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics in honor of his son, who had passed away the previous year. In 1997, a replica of the piece was installed in Barcelona's Olympic Village.
Throughout his career, Llimós participated in various solo and group exhibitions, solidifying his presence in both the national and international art scenes. His works can be found in public and private collections worldwide.
The Encounter with Extraterrestrial Beings
In 2009, during a trip to Fortaleza, Brazil, for a friend's wedding, Robert Llimós had an experience that would forever change his art. One quiet afternoon, he went out to sketch landscapes when he spotted a UFO surrounded by a mist. The object made no sound except when it took off. Below it, a structure with a rectangular window revealed the presence of a humanoid couple.
According to Llimós, he was abducted for about two and a half hours, during which these beings observed him. He describes them as being roughly 60 centimeters away, allowing him to see astonishing details such as scales and large pores on their skin. The experience was intense but devoid of fear. Llimós believes the beings chose him to make them known to the world, as his profession allowed him to depict them artistically.
The artist claims that the Church, the CIA, and NASA are concealing this information from humanity. Following this event, he decided to abandon his traditional artistic style and dedicate himself exclusively to portraying the beings he saw on the Brazilian beach.
The Impact on His Career and Life
This radical shift in artistic theme led to rejection by the art market and cultural circles. His regular collectors did not understand this new phase and stopped purchasing his works. For seven years, Llimós did not sell a single piece but remained committed to making the aliens he encountered known. Fortunately, his work found an audience in Italy, where he managed to exhibit in Rome. Today, he reflects that he was lucky to have had this experience at 65. Had it occurred at 30, he might not have endured the ostracism and incomprehension from the art world.
Llimós insists that no detail in his paintings is invented. Although the term "reptilian" may seem pejorative, he asserts that these beings truly possessed reptilian characteristics. During the encounter, communication happened telepathically, and he felt a sense of kindness emanating from them.
Consequences and Reflections
Since then, Llimós has not had a similar experience, but he has encountered strange occurrences. On six different occasions, while speaking on the phone, he heard unknown voices transmitting various emotions. Curiously, one of these instances coincided with the day President Barack Obama postponed the declassification of UFO files.
He also believes that extraterrestrial sightings became more frequent after World War II, due to the impact of atomic bombs on the universe. Llimós suggests that aliens avoid being photographed because humanity is not yet ready for this information, given how it handles humanitarian crises, such as the plight of Syrian refugees.
Many question whether this radical transformation is linked to the trauma of losing his son in 1995. However, he insists that his experience was real and that his art does not stem from the subconscious but from the physical world.
The Persistence of an Artist
Today, Robert Llimós continues to share his story through interviews and programs, striving to accurately depict the beings he encountered in 2009. His works intrigue with their realism and remarkable details, provoking reflections on the existence of other life forms and the role of art in conveying such experiences.
His legacy extends beyond the art world: it is a bridge between the visible and the invisible, challenging us to question what we truly know about the universe.
