Curatorial context

The Museo Tiflológico hosted 'Todo un mundo interior de color', an exhibition showcasing twelve works by the blind painter Ataúlfo Casado. Casado, who was once the youngest accredited copyist at the Museo Nacional del Prado, has developed a distinctive abstract style that has evolved significantly over time. Born in 1948, he showed early artistic promise, winning awards in drawing and painting competitions before training at the School of Arts and Crafts in Madrid and later at the Faculty of Fine Arts at Complutense University. Despite a period where he stopped painting due to blindness, he returned to his art in 2007, further developing his abstract approach. The exhibition highlighted this journey and his unique perspective on color and form. Casado is also the subject of the documentary 'Ata, pintando negro', which explores his daily life as a blind painter.
