The Institute of Bellvitge Biomedical Research (IDIBELL) wishes to express its condolences for the death of Antoni Tàpies on February 6th. In 2005 the artist made in an altruistic way the logo of the research centre, in the same way that years before had made the logo of the Foundation August Pi i Sunyer of the University Hospital of Bellvitge, IDIBELL predecessor.

The logo created by Tàpies responds to the passion that drives the scientific team of the institution, while meant to represent the quality, talent and human dimension of the research activity to society. Heart and health cross were born from the touch of the master, it’s the work from which arises a universal symbol to represent the IDIBELL.

On 12 February 2008, IDIBELL researchers paid homage to the artist in the convention hall of the Hotel Hesperia Tower in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, in a ceremony presided by the former Health Spanish Minister, Bernat Soria.

In 2010 the logo was redesigned by ADN Studio, which maintained the original spirit of the symbol created by Tàpies.
