Eladio de Mora is one of the great representatives of Spanish contemporary art, Eladio de Mora discovered his artistic vocation as a child. Fundamentally self-taught artist, he develops a work that could be placed halfway between pop and expressionism. His creations are characterized by simplified features and pure colors, and are made in materials such as plastic, polyester and some resins. Under the almost childish appearance of his works, sometimes critical meanings are hidden; he confesses to seek in his works the balance between rigor and smile. Some of his best known pieces are his series of bears, ducks, divers and meninas. In fact, his sculptures are usually grouped in families, so that the repetition intensifies the impact. Also, most of his sculptures are placed outdoors, since Mora seeks above all a direct relationship with the public. He began to make himself known through group exhibitions at the beginning of the 21st century, and in 2002 he held his first solo exhibitions, both in Spain (Azteca and Séller galleries in Madrid, Espacio Líquido in Gijón) and abroad (Heyd gallery in Hildritzhausen, Germany). Since then his presence will be constant in the art scene; he will continue to exhibit individually, and also taking part in art fairs and group shows. In recent years he has shown his work in personal exhibitions held in prominent Spanish and foreign art galleries and centers, among them the Jorge Ontiveros Gallery in Madrid, the Drissien Gallery in Munich, the Florencio de la Fuente Museum in Valencia, the Contemporary Art Museum in Malaga, the Juan Ismael Art Center in Madrid, the Juan Ismael Art Center in Madrid, the Juan Ismael Art Center in Madrid, the Drissien Gallery in Munich, and the Florencio de la Fuente Museum in Valencia, the Centro de Arte Juan Ismael in Fuerteventura, the Espacio para el Arte Caja Madrid, the Hotel Urban and the Centro de Arte Moderno also in Madrid, the IVAM in Valencia, the Museo MACAY in Mexico, the gallery Los Oficios and the Museo de Bellas Artes in Havana, the Museo Arterra in Vienna and the Fundación Antonio Pérez in Cuenca. He has also participated in important group exhibitions in Spain, Mexico, Italy, Portugal and Germany. It is also worth mentioning Mora's important work as a designer of trophies, among them the "Women Together" in New York, the "Master Senior Comunidad de Madrid" or the "Protagonistas del motor de El Mundo". Throughout his career he has received the "Getafe Ciudad de las Artes" (Madrid, 2005) and "Aura" (Toledo, 2007) awards, and has created monuments and installations in Madrid, Logroño, Havana, Vienna, Gijón, Málaga and Valencia, among other cities.

ANTONIO LÓPEZ GARCÍA (Tomelloso, Ciudad Real, 1936). "Carmen recién nacida", 2012. Steel. Copy 1/10. Enclosed certificate of authenticity issued by the author. It has a wooden and methacrylate box with a small tear. Signed and numbered. Measures. 5,5 x 7,5 x 4,5 cm; 27 x 21 x 21 x 21 cm (box). This 2012 steel piece is based on the model created by Antonio López in 1999 in which he paid homage to his newborn granddaughter. Carmen, the little girl's name, became a constant in his work, as her face allowed him to sculpt the values of childhood, the softness of forms and innocence reflected in rounded, yet gentle and delicate features. This piece is closely related to the work known as "Night" or "Carmen asleep", which is paired with the sculpture "Day" or "Carmen awake", both located in Madrid's Atocha station. A painter and sculptor, Antonio López began his artistic training in his native land, where he took classes with the master painter Antonio López Torres. It was thanks to his artistic facility, his talent and the support of his uncle, which led him to begin his studies in Madrid, at the San Fernando Academy. In order to gain admission, he attended courses at the School of Arts and Crafts in the afternoons. This preparation helped him to gain admission to the academy at the age of 14. During his time as a student he made friends with other artists of his generation such as Enrique Gran, Amalia Avia and Lucio Muñoz, what has come to be known as the Madrid School. In 1955, after finishing his studies at the School of Fine Arts, he left for Italy, where he travelled thanks to a scholarship. After finishing his studies, in 1957, he made his individual debut in Madrid at the Ateneo, with an exhibition he had prepared in his native Tomelloso. A year later, thanks to a competition held by the Fundación Rodríguez Acosta, he travelled to Greece with a grant. After his return to Madrid in the 1960s, his presence in galleries was reiterated, thanks to the contacts generated through his exhibition at the Biosca Gallery. Antonio López's work generated great interest in different parts of Europe, the United States, China and Korea. In 1993 the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid dedicated an anthological exhibition to him. His work is characterised by the use of a realist language, showing a great interest in portraiture, although it also includes subjects such as landscape. He is a member of the San Fernando Academy, and his awards include the Prince of Asturias Prize for the Arts and the Velázquez Prize for Plastic Arts. In 2008 the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston devoted a monographic exhibition to him, as will the Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Bilbao Museum of Fine Arts in 2011. He is represented at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the ARTIUM in Vitoria, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Fundación Juan March and the Museo de Bellas Artes in Bilbao, among others.
