Antoni Tàpies has been a "household" name in art since the mid-1950s, and his early works were influenced by surrealism, and then he was "swept" into abstract art. He was also a member of the infamous art movement informal (it is a deviation from the form towards the expressive and spontaneous). With his works, in which he also used "non-graphic" materials (sand, marble dust, earth, etc.), he also influenced Slovenian artists, such as Janez Bernik, Andrej Jemec and Bogdan Borčić.
