JOSÉ LUIS ALEXANCO (Madrid, 1942-2021). "Boscuman", 1991. Acrylic on cotton canvas. Signed and dated on the back. Titled and dated on the stretcher frame. Measurements: 150 x 150 cm; 154 x 154 cm (frame). Alexanco studied drawing and engraving with Manuel Castro Gil at the Casa de la Moneda, in Madrid, and in 1960 he enters the School of Fine Arts. Between 1968 and 1974 he collaborated with other artists at the University's Calculus Center, where he worked on sculptural generation programs, in collaboration with the American company IBM.

In the following years he would continue to work with the same author on various projects, including the organization of the Pamplona Encounters of 1972.

EVA MONTORO (Madrid, 1968). "Yo Frida", 2021. Waxed bronze with patinated loss. Signed and dated. Measurements: 63 x 43 x 36 cm. Frida Kahlo is considered an icon of Mexican culture and an international reference whose aura grows with time. In this case Eva Montoro pays homage to the Mexican artist with this bronze bust. On this occasion, her defiant gaze is framed by her bushy eyebrows joined by a single stroke. This is an element that she will always exhibit with pride, exaggerating the feature by painting her eyebrows and often with a mustache, elements that later feminism will claim as signs of strength of a character that does not bend to what is expected of a woman, both in outward appearance and behavior. Eva Montoro began her artistic education in 1984, studying at the School of Applied Arts and Artistic Trades in Madrid. In 1988 she entered the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid where she specialized in Graphic Design. Between 1991 and 1993 he continued his training at the School of Applied Arts and Artistic Crafts of Madrid where he took courses in Story Board and Scriptwriting, as well as Computer-Assisted Graphic Design. In 1995 he specialized in Sculpture, where he discovered his true vocation. In 1992 he made his first university exhibition in the hall of the faculty, in 1993 the second, in the same room and in the town hall of Ciudad Real. In the same year he began to work in the illustration studio Tango and Gandolfi, this one dedicated to illustrate books under license of Walt Disney. In 1994 he exhibited his work again, at the Lisboa Gallery in Madrid. In 1999 she entered a decisive competition for the beginning of her career as a sculptor, organized by the municipality of Leganés, Madrid. This contest gave her several contracts for public works.

In the following years he held exhibitions in different Spanish cities, and in 1969 he made a trip to Argentina, where he held a new exhibition. Settled in Buenos Aires, he combines painting with various decoration projects for Harrods. In 1971 he made a trip to Chile, Brazil and Uruguay, and on his return in 1972 he held an important exhibition in the Perla Marino Gallery in the Argentine capital. He returned to Spain and exhibited in Pontevedra, where he took part in the Biennial that same year. In the following years he held exhibitions in Galicia, Murcia, Valladolid, Madrid, Barcelona and Tenerife, and in 1986 a retrospective exhibition was held in Terra de Montes. Three years later he made his debut at the Durán art gallery in Madrid, where he exhibited biannually with great success.
