Pablo Palazuelo

Pablo Palazuelo was a Spanish artist born in Madrid in 1915. He died in Galapagar in 2007 and is considered one of the leading figures of Spanish geometric abstraction in the second half of the 20th century. His work includes painting, sculpture, printmaking, writing, and theory, all understood as parts of the same visual and intellectual search.

His style was built through line, plane, space, color, number, and geometry. He studied architecture and kept a strong interest in ancient philosophy, Eastern thought, modern physics, and the links between mathematics and nature. In his paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, abstraction appears as a way to explore hidden structures, inner rhythms, and processes of change.

His work is part of collections such as the Museo Reina Sofía, Museo Guggenheim Bilbao, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Fundación Juan March, Museo de Arte Abstracto Español de Cuenca, Banco de España Collection, MACBA, Artium Museoa, Fundación “la Caixa”, and Kunsthaus Zürich. His confirmed awards include the Kandinsky Prize in 1952, the Carnegie Prize in 1958, the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts in 1982, the National Prize for Visual Arts in 1999, and the Velázquez Prize for Visual Arts in 2004.
