Fernando Zobel
Painter
Spain
|
Born of an Old Spanish family settled in the Philippines, in 1924 Malina
He studied at various art schools in Philippines and United states.
After a figurative phase, dominated by his great talents for linear drawing, he discovered the way to "abstract" art.
In 1970s, his works, which are highly personal, depend on two primary elements: Nebulosity in the pictorial features, and a slight measure of graphics, bordering on calligraphy. He uses them to construct a subtle world, in which one may catch glimpses of distant oriental references.
Fernando Zobel is the owner of the collection of Spanish abstract art, which is housed in Cuenca "Modern Art Museum", of which he is the main promoter.
