| Palencia, Spain, 1959 – Established Spanish sculptor, Dr. Pablo De Arriba´s best known works depict human form and shapes. Escultor español, el desnudo humano es lo que más abunda en la obra de Pablo de Arriba. El artista desarrolla su capacidad compositiva recreando anatomÃas abocetadas, mórbidas y añosas que, en medio de situaciones a menudo intrascendentes, se desenvuelven con naturalidad dentro del espacio, dejando entrever con frecuencia un trasfondo de acuciante soledad y miseria existencial. Trained in Fine Arts at the leading Spanish university, Universidad Complutense, Madrid, he has also worked at the governing body of the Spanish Art Schools. He received a doctorate “Cum Laude” for his work “Formal Problems in the Sculptural Representation of Movements of Human Figures”. He now works as an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Madrid. In addition to several EXHIBITIONS, Pablo has received the following AWARDS: - 1985: 1st National (Spain) Prize in Academics. - 1985: 1st Prize in Sculpture. Universidad Complutense Madrid. - 1985: 1st Prize in Sculpture. Villa de Ayllón Segovia Spain. - 1988: 1st Prize. Sculpture Competition. Veiga Gallery |
