Martin Chirino

Artists involved in El Paso collaborations included Antonio Saura, Manolo Millares, Pablo Serrano, and others. El Paso worked together from 1957 to 1960, when they dissolved. Martin Chirino's "Mediterránea" series of sculptures was inspired by a trip to Greece. This series of sculptures is created from iron sheets that have been shaped and painted in vivid colors. They are hollow inside. In addition to creating sculptures of his own and collaborating with other artists, Chirino has also worked as the director of art museums and cultural organizations. He has also been received multiple fine art awards for his works.
