Construcción arquitectónica I Sculpture

Martín Carral was born in Meruelo (Cantabria, Spain) and moved to Barcelona at a very early age, where he graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Barcelona. He began by investigating material expressionism and started a series of paintings inspired by the film Metropolis (Fritz Lang) which he developed over a decade.
Carral began to focus on the representation of an underground city where the "Tunnel" was the concept of speed and the car together with a man was seen as a futuristic city. This series has been very prolific in terms of awards and exhibitions.
First prize Ricard Camí Caixa de Terrassa (1989).
Scholarship from the Santander Botín Foundation (1994).
In 1995 he stayed at the Cite D'arts in Paris.
