The 1988 Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival poster, signed by Facundo Fierro
In 1988, Facundo Fierro signed the official poster for the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival, as recorded on the Carnival's own historical poster webpage, which places him alongside names such as César Manrique, Javier Mariscal, Pedro González, and Pepe Dámaso in the historical collection of posters that have defined the event throughout its history.
The CICOP heritage entry dedicated specifically to this piece provides a second documentary confirmation of the poster, although it includes a biographical detail that contradicts other more consistent sources—the artist's place of birth—which is worth noting here precisely to avoid carrying the error forward into future references regarding his career.
Being part of that list of posters—among authors who are benchmarks of contemporary Canarian art—is one of the clearest indications of the public profile Fierro had achieved by the late eighties, in parallel with his painting activity and his early work in visual identity design.
