(*) Pablo Palazuelo studied architecture in Madrid and at the Royal Institute of British Architects in Oxford. From 1939 he dedicated himself exclusively to painting. After briefly cultivating a neocubist style in the wake of Picasso and Braque, he began to become interested in the work of sculptors such as Naum Gabo and Anton Pevsner and in the painting of Paul Klee, which influenced him deeply.
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 career.
In 1948 he settled in the Spanish Pavilion of 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 in major European and American museums, such as the Guggenheim in New York, the Carnegie International in Pittsburgh, or the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.
In 1954 he began to develop a sculptural facet that reached its peak in the 1970s. Over time, his geometry gained greater dynamism and flexibility, and his rhythm grew faster: the fragmentation produced on the surface generates an entire grid of straight and jagged lines and a crystalization structure emerges.
In 1969 he returned to Spain, where he established his final studio. He was awarded the Gold Medal for Fine Arts in 1982. In 2004 he received the Velázquez Prize from the Spanish Ministry of Culture.
