Cristobal Gabarrón

Cristóbal Gabarrón (Mula, Murcia, April 25, 1945) is an artist internationally recognized as a creator of public art, painting, sculpture or monumental assemblies.

He was born in the town of Mula (Murcia) in 1945, although when he was six years old he moved with his family to live in Valladolid. He dedicated himself to painting from a very young age, holding his first exhibitions at the Galería Castilla in Valladolid and the Galería Macarrón in Madrid.

His work evolved from figuration to informalism, to “symbolic” and “postmodern” abstraction. In 1967, at only 22 years old, Gabarrón exhibited at the Leob Gallery in New York and at the Arts Perspective Gallery in Paris.

His work has been marked by his life experience, humanism and his nomadic personality, which give him a unique, very personal style. A creation in continuous experimentation and evolution with traces coming from its multiple stays and exhibitions in different places around the world.

He currently resides between Bueu, in the Ría de Pontevedra and Valladolid, although he remains connected to his place of origin, the city of Mula.
