Curatorial context

The Museo Tiflológico hosted 'Curved Forms,' an exhibition by sculptor Julián Rodríguez Vázquez, presenting 15 of his works that were both visible and tactile. Vázquez, born in San Miguel de la Ribera, Zamora, in 1954, discovered his artistic path through sculpting clay figures from a young age. His learning was significantly shaped by working with sculptor Higinio Vázquez García and in Eduardo Capa Sacristán's foundry, where he honed his skills in carving, waxing, mold-making, and restoration. He further expanded his artistic knowledge by attending the Faculty of Fine Arts in Madrid, studying under artists such as Juan de Ávalos and collaborating with figures like José Aledo and Tomás Parés. Vázquez's style is characterized by dynamic composition and formal expansion, with a particular emphasis on curvilinear forms, evident in his smaller-scale sculptures. His notable works include busts of Cervantes and the Baron Thyssen, as well as bronze portraits of prominent figures and contributions to large-scale sculptures for Madrid's Cathedral of La Almudena. His extensive exhibition history includes participation in prestigious events like the 'Centenario Círculo de Bellas Artes' and 'Escultura Cervantina.'
