By 1992 Arimany had already been exhibiting her work for 17 years. In addition to sculpture she has produced large ceramic murals for hospitals, churches, sports arenas, government buildings, and schools; created monumental commissions of iron, steel, and stone for public parks, plazas, and a railway station; won a number of art awards; and been a guest lecturer at two universities. But her name remains less familiar to most Americans than those of her fellow Spaniards Cristina Iglesias, Juan Muñoz, and Susana Solano because most of Arimany’s exhibitions have taken place in Spain, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Argentina, and Eastern Europe—and because most of the critical writing on her work is in Castilian Spanish or Catalan.
