Facundo Fierro

Facundo Fierro

Painter, printmaker and sculptor. Canary Islands, 1938.

His work explores the color of the Islands, the memory of matter, and a constant dialogue with the masters of art history.

Since 1976, he has dedicated himself exclusively to painting. He opened a studio in Paris and later moved it to Madrid; today, he resides in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

His work is organized into series: Primera, where his initial languages were born; Carnaval, painted between 1988 and 1991 based on the Santa Cruz de Tenerife carnival; Muros y Ventanas, focusing on texture and light; Albero, centered on ritual and the anticipation of the bullring; and Diálogos, pictorial conversations with Velázquez, Michelangelo, or Flemish painting.
