Cristóbal Barbero, winner of the prize with his work 'Rescue'
The artist Cristóbal Barbero, winner of the XIX Painting Prize with his work 'Rescue', studied Fine Arts at the UMU and is currently studying for a doctorate at the Faculty of Fine Arts.
He has made numerous individual exhibitions and has won several awards for painting and sculpture, among which the first sculpture prize in the 'XII Young Creation' of Murcia in 2004 and the 'Bust Sculpture Prize Tribute to José Loustau' in 2015.
In the author's words, "the object of study of my artistic research deals with the essential grammar of physical contact. Based on our own knowledge of the field of anthropological and sociological sciences, and the reasoning about space taken from the perspective of artistic practice , we propose an analytical study of contact as a means and as an agent that creates ".
The winning work "involves the commitment of physical contact with our natural environment; an approach with our surroundings, charging emotional truth to the piece" adds Barbero, "where things that have once been in contact and then are separated, they remain united by a powerful bond that is physical contact.
