Miguel Ortiz Berrocal (1933-2006)

Miguel Ortiz Berrocal studied at the Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando and at the Escuela de Artes Graficas. During evening lessons at the Escuela de Artes y Oficios the great sculptor Ángel Ferrant became his master. Berrocal additionally signed in into the faculty of exact sciences to study architecture and it was there, where he discovered his interest in analytical geometry. The artist celebrated his debut as a painter, bringing about the participation in the 17th Venice Biennale. Study trips to Rome and Paris have taken a great influence on his artistry. A large quantity of international single exhibitions are tribute to his work. (tm)
