Pablo Palazuelo studied architecture in Madrid and at the Royal Institute of British Architects in Oxford. Since 1939, he dedicated himself exclusively to painting. After briefly developing a neo-Cubist style inspired by Picasso and Braque, he became interested in the work of sculptors like Naum Gabo and Anton Pevsner, and in the paintings of Paul Klee, which had a profound influence on him.
His early abstract drawings were based on the observation of natural structures, such as snow crystals, microscopic examinations of cells, or aerial photographs; the search for geometric structures and their mathematical proportions would characterize Palazuelo's work throughout his entire career.
In 1948, he settled in the Spanish Pavilion at the University City of Paris, where he met Chillida.
His first solo exhibition took place at the Maeght Gallery in Paris in 1955. Subsequently, he exhibited at major European and American museums, such as the Guggenheim in New York, the Carnegie International in Pittsburgh, and the Museum of Modern Art in the City of Paris.
In 1954, he began developing a sculptural facet that reached its peak in the 1970s. Over time, his geometry gained more dynamism and flexibility, and his rhythm became faster: the fragmentation produced on the surface creates a network of straight and broken lines and gives rise to a crystallization structure.
In 1969, he returned to Spain, where he established his definitive studio. He was awarded the Gold Medal of Fine Arts in 1982. In 2004, he received the Velázquez Prize from the Spanish Ministry of Culture.
