Born in Barcelona in 1932, Bonet moved to Quebec in 1954. Initially a painter, ceramacist and muralist, he later devoted himself to sculpture. From 1960 to 1977, he completed more than 100 murals of ceramics, bronze and aluminium throughout the world. In 1977 he completed his most substantial work of approximately 40x80 sq. ft. at the Grand Theatre in Quebec City. In one corner of the mural he used a line from Quebec poet Claude Peloquin, translated, "Aren't you fed up with dying, you fools? Enough!" Members of the public reacted to the use of "vulgar" French in the Grand Theatre. Supporters of the artist organized a demonstration 1800 strong that included sculptor Armand Vaillancourt who wore a suit of armor and rode a horse on stage, waving banners and demanding freedom of expression. The architect and the government supported the artist's rights. (Star Weekly, Sept.4, 1971) Bonet also made two aluminium doors encrusted with glass for King Fahd of Saudi Arabia and the vault "Our Lady of the Sky" at the Kennedy Airport in NY. He taught at the School of Architecture, University of Quebec, 1966-1968, and was active in the restoration of the Temple of the Sagrada Familia by Antoni Gaudi in Barcelona. His work showed at Expo 1970 in Osaka in the Quebec Pavillion. He died in Quebec on December 25, 1979, at the age of 47, after a long illness.
