This exhibition explores the nomadic life and artistic journeys of painter Francisco Iturrino, who traveled between Paris, Tangier, and Málaga in search of inspiration. Featuring a selection of oil paintings and engravings created between 1900 and 1917, the show highlights his ability to capture the vibrant atmosphere and meridional light of these diverse regions.
Francisco Iturrino was a nomadic artist whose restless spirit led him to travel constantly from his base in Paris toward the southern light. Drawn by the distinct atmosphere of the Mediterranean and beyond, he translated his impressions onto canvas using compositions defined by their vibrant, bold use of color. This exhibition serves as a testament to those journeys, tracing his search for inspiration through a variety of landscapes. The showcase centers on five oil paintings and a series of engravings produced between 1900 and 1917. These works document Iturrino's artistic evolution as he traversed diverse cultural settings, from the streets of Paris to the landscapes of Málaga, Tánger, and the French Riviera. Through this collection, viewers are invited to experience the artist's unique perspective on light, color, and geography at the turn of the century.
The exhibition is hosted at the Michel Mejuto Gallery. For visitor details, please consult the gallery's official website for current opening hours and access information related to their ongoing exhibits.
