Eugenio Foz was born in Barcelona on July 31, 1923. He was obliged to leave school in 1936, going to work for his father as an apprentice printer. But at the age of thirteen, he already knew he wanted to be a painter. He went to the Escola Massana in 1939, where he learned egg tempera painting, retable technique, enamel painting and oil painting. His professors encouraged him to continue in the field.
Over a twenty year span from 1948 to 1968, Eugenio Foz worked in newspapers, publishing, video and advertising. He was a regular contributor to daily comics in France-Soir (Le crime ne paye pas, Chéri-Bibi) and Paris-Jour (Le Marquis de Villemer and Lucile) as well as the weekly Ce Soir (La vie de Marie Stuart and La vie de Georges Sand). He died in Paris on June 9, 2014.
