Jaume Plensa (born 1955) is a Spanish artist and sculptor. He was born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, He left the studies of fine arts in Barcelona and continued to train in a self-taught way.

In 2007, working closely with a group of local ex-miners, he was commissioned to create a new work on the landmark site of a former colliery near St Helens, Merseyside, as part of the Big Art Project, a major national public art initiative linked to Channel 4.

Unveiled in spring 2009, 'Dream' consists of an elongated white structure 20 metres (66 ft) tall, weighing 500 tons, which has been carved to resemble the head and neck of a young woman with her eyes closed in meditation. The structure is coated in sparkling white Spanish dolomite, as a contrast to the coal which used to be mined there.
