Contrary to what is usually thought, blindness is not condemned only to darkness.

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.
