At the early age of 10, Ataulfo was taken to see a series of documentaries about the underwater world. The shapes, textures and colors of life below the surface did not leave him indifferent; Casado did not know at that time that those images, which were impregnated in his memory, were going to acquire an aesthetic interest in his artistic work. Ten years later he met the stained-glass windows of the Cathedral of Chartres and, admired by such beauty, he understood that geometry and color could generate extremely attractive and impressive images. In the series entitled "By the sea of the rose and the thorn" Ataulfo embarks on the mission of building a sea of Chartres through collage and color, to accommodate living and strange fish swimming and writhing in the mysterious and almost abstract world waiting below the surface. This series, while is an exploration of color and movement, invites us to immerse ourselves in the imagination and pure recreation of an artist who shines precisely to get away from all conventionality. Technique: Collage, pastel drawing, acrylic.

Ataúlfo Casado, whose artistic name is a simple and affectionate Ata, was born in Madrid on January 14, 1948. At the young age of 14 he achieved one of his greatest professional achievements, becoming an accredited copyist of the Museo Nacional del Prado (Madrid). At age of 17 he entered the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid, the last year of the Academy as a school of education. The following year, in June, he had to take the entrance exam to the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Complutense University of Madrid; 200 students attended the exam, of which only 19 were approved, including Casado. As a result of a disease that left him in absolute blindness, he abandoned painting for years, returning with strength in 2007. His work evolved over time in a formidable way, approaching more and more the abstract style that, to date, he dominates his creations. His style, in the words of Casado himself, can be defined as a mixture of Fauvism, expressionism, figuration and abstraction.
