Miquel Navarro

Miquel Navarro (Aielo de Malferit, Valencia, 1945) is a Spanish sculptor and artist characterized by his interest in abstraction and the relationship between sculpture and architecture. Since the 1970s, Navarro has developed his own sculptural language, based on the creation of organic and abstract forms using materials such as iron, stone, and ceramics. His works are voluminous, often large, and are characterized by their visual power and their ability to create architectural spaces through sculpture. Among his most notable works are the public sculptures that adorn various Spanish cities, such as the Science Park in Granada, the Conference Center in Valencia, and the Paseo de la Castellana in Madrid. Furthermore, his work has been exhibited in important museums and galleries around the world, including the Guggenheim in New York, the Joan Miró Foundation in Barcelona and the Georges Pompidou Centre in Paris. Navarro has received numerous awards and recognitions for his artistic career, including the National Prize for Plastic Arts (1995) and the Valencian Generalitat Prize for the Arts (2006). He has also been awarded the Gold Medal for Merit in the Fine Arts (2015) and the Gold Medal of the City of Valencia (2018).
