Born in Paris to Catalan parents Carlos Nadal studied art in Barcelona and Paris. In 1930 he enrolled at the School of Arts & Crafts in Barcelona and in 1932 moved to the Senior School for Fine Arts of St George Barcelona. Nadal fought with the Republican Forces on the Aragonese Front, crossed the French Frontier and was interned in the Concentration Camp St Cyprien for five months. He escaped and was arrested by the Civil Guard. He returned to Barcelona, on probation, returning to his studies with the aid of a grant from the Barcelona Town Council. In 1946 Nadal was granted a scholarship by the French Government to study in Paris where he became a painter in the Fauvist manner. He married the Belgian painter Floris Joris in 1949 and settled in Brussels. Nadal exhibited throughout the world and in the late 1970's his work was discovered and introduced to the UK by his friend the art dealer John Duncalfe.
