Pedro Castrortega

Born in 1956 in Piedrabuena, Spain, and currently lives in Berlin, Germany. Graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Madrid in 1982, his work is distinguished by its lyrical abstract style, full of symbols. It balances the level of volume, achieving great expressive strength with the flow of shapes, the contrast between light and shadow, design and color.

In 2004 he received the prize for the best proposal for graphic works, Estampa, 2004. Awarded by the MADRID Critics Association for the book, “Don Quixote betrayed”, and in 1997 the honorary prize at the International Triennial of Second Graphic Arts, in Cairo, Egypt.
