Pablo Rey grew up in a family of artists. His father, Gabino Rey, was a Spanish realist painter who taught Pablo how to paint from a young age.

Pablo showed great talent early on. In 1989, he won the Talens prize for young painters. In 1992, he won another award, the Raimon Maragall i Noble prize, at the same competition in Sala Parés Gallery in Barcelona.

In 1994, the University of Barcelona bought one of his artworks for their collection. That same year, he graduated with a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona.

In 2004, he had an exhibition called "Two painters on the same canvas" with artist Luis Trullenque. This show was held at Benedormiens castle in Santa Cristina d’ Aro in Girona, Spain.

In 2005, an art expert named Arnau Puig wrote about Pablo Rey's art. He described Rey's paintings as "Painting set free and freedom in the painting." Another art historian, Pilar Giró, said that Pablo Rey is a special voice in Spanish art. She noted that he combines logic and emotion in his work.

In 2009, Rey presented an exhibition called "Conjuncions" in Sant Feliu de Guíxols. This show featured three painters working on the same canvas, including Alex Pallí and Luis Trullenque. The exhibition later moved to the House of Culture of Gerona in 2011.
