Martín Chirino: El Niño Que Quiso Mover El Horizonte

Martin Chirino was one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century. Eager for knowledge, he traveled around the world to learn from different cultures, which opened his horizons to a unique work in which the art of three continents is condensed. Although his name has crossed borders, he always recognized the landscape of his native Canary Islands as a source of inspiration. His sculptures, large iron pieces that play with all kinds of spatial geometries, are a waste of imagination and talent that has made him the best ambassador of Spanish culture worldwide.
