In 1779, aged 17, Ferrer was on board the Gipuzcoaa Company's Nuestra Senora de la Asuncion off Cape St Vincent when the vessel was captured by the British. After surviving captivity with the help of his family, he undertook studies.

Joaquín Ferrer was a Cuban painter who went to Paris in 1960 to continue his art studies and remained there until the end of his life. He had his first exhibition in 1968 at the Le Point Cardinal gallery, with a foreword by Max Ernst. His works were later shown at the Fondation Maeght and the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, among others.

Joaquin Ferrer was born on October 4, 1928 and died on March 25, 2022 at age 93.

Ferrer was a Cuban Postwar & Contemporary painter.

In 1952, Joaquin entered the School of Fine Arts in Havana. He exhibited his works for the first time in 1954 at the National Painting Exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Havana.

Joaquin works are indescribable, without reference either to an existing painting, or to a realizable reality. He restores in his work not the features of a face, the configuarion of a place, the content of a speech but rather the relationship of volumes to space, the vibration, the intonation of a voice, its color, its intimate singularity, which touches the deepest and which is the revealer of being.

Joaquin Ferrer studied at the Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes San Alejandro in Havana and, thanks to a scholarship, went to Paris, where he finally settled down.
