Domènec Fita Molat was born in 1927 in Girona (Catalunya, Spain). In 1932 he entered the Casa d´Assistència i Ensenyament de Girona, a school managed by Generalitat de Catalunya, and started studying following Montessori method.
While continuing his normal studies he started studying Art with Joan Carrera. In the fourties he studied sculpture and painting in Escola d´Arts i Oficis d´Olot and attended classes with Joan Carrera in the Escola Municipal de Belles Arts de Girona. He studied sculpture , painting, drawing and etching in Escola de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi in Barcelona. He obtained a degree which allowed him to teach drawing. In 1948 he formed a group called "Flamma" together with other artists such as Albert García, Joan Lleó, Romà Vallès and Francesc Carulla.
In 1953 he suffered a serious accident while he was painting a mural in Betlem´s church in Barcelona. He remained 3 years in hospital and, as a consequence of the accident, he became paraplegic.
As a teacher Domènec Fita taught plastic arts in Girona and History and Art Theory in Estudi General de Girona, a school linked to Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. In 1969 he moved to Montjuic,Girona, where he is still living and working. In 1979 he founded his Estudi d´Art helped by some colleagues, where he teaches sculpture, painting, drawing, pottery and tapestry. Many of the pupils, who come from different parts of Catalunya, study Plastic Arts at university after having studied with Fita. In 1985 he became a member of Reial Acadèmia Catalana de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi. Worried about the future of his legacy, and also wanting to perpetuate a personal way of thinking and acting, he has been working hard to create the Fita Foundation.
