Pere Jaume Borrell i Guinart, known as Perejaume, was born in 1957 in Sant Pol de Mar, Catalonia. He is a Spanish artist who creates modern art.

Perejaume taught himself much of what he knows. He was greatly inspired by other artists like Joan Brossa. They even worked together, combining painting with poetry.

His art often explores big ideas. He looks at how people connect with nature. He also thinks about how society focuses on shows and appearances. Perejaume also rethinks older art styles, especially modernist painting.

He has shown his artwork all over the world since 1990. Some places include the Arnolfini Gallery in England and the Meyers Bloom Gallery in California. He also exhibited at the Galeria Joan Prats in Barcelona.

Perejaume has won several important awards for his art. In 2005, he received the Catalan National Prize of Visual Arts. The next year, in 2006, he won the Spanish National Award for Plastic Arts. In 2007, he was given the Spanish National Prize of Graphic Arts.
