Doctorate in fine arts from the University of Barcelona in 2005 with the thesis “Modeling, Creation and Knowledge. Spiritus Classcus”. Since 2003 Egea has been a professor in the Sculpture Department of the Faculty of Fine Arts of Barcelona and has worked on various occasions as visiting professor at European universities, as well as at the California Sculpture Academy in the United States. As a researcher, he is a member of the GRACMON group in the Department of Art History (University of Barcelona) and is currently the director of the Catalan Institute for Sculpture Research (ICRE).

As a sculptor, he maintains a strong presence on the national and international scene. Since 1992 he has regularly exhibited in France, Italy, the United States and Japan. Similarly, he regularly participates in art exhibitions in Spain. Throughout his career he has won various awards, scholarships, and wide recognition. He is also the author of publications, both about his own work and museum projects.

The presence of the body and the search for beauty through the human figure have had the main concepts in the development of my works of art. From my initial contact with clay as a fundamental medium for creation, I believe that at the base of each work of art there is a personal relationship with the material, a search for the origin of art itself.

My works have no theme, the theme is the body or beauty itself. The reference to the classical world, in a title or an attitude is only the clue that connects with the entire classical world, which defines us as the West.

I believe that classical is always a revolution against academic art (which is its degraded version) therefore in a society like the current one, classical art continues to be a shock, an element of constant rupture.
