About the artist:

Carlos Sansegundo was a Spanish sculptor and painter. Sansegundo was an artist who took part in many individual exhibitions and collectives hosted at Marta Torres Gallery. The son of a merchant who loved art, as a kid Sansegundo already showed great talent in painting. At 18 he left his hometown of Santander and went to Madrid with a scholarship to study at the art school of San Fernando. He started to train there but lacked inspiration, so in 1953 he went to Paris, where he shared exhibition rooms with the greatest: Picasso, and Miró,... In 1956, the master sculptor Henry Moore offered him work in his atélier in the British countryside. As he has always done when destiny tempted him, he did not hesitate to accept the offer and, while he only stayed a few months, he assures that Moore taught him a lot. Back in Madrid, he used to hang out at Café Gijón, a meeting point for many artists. Camilo José Cela was one of his friends back then.
