Cristóbal Pérez García
Painting
His mastery is rooted in his academic background at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Granada, where he specialized in sculpture. This experience with volume and form has deeply influenced his pictorial style: his brushstrokes are tactile and constructive, lending an almost architectural solidity to his canvases.
The City as a Mirror of the SoulThe central theme of Tóbal's work is the contemporary city. In his interpretation, cities like Madrid, New York, London, or Paris cease to be mere backdrops of concrete and steel. The artist focuses on "transitional moments": reflections in puddles after the rain, car headlights piercing the twilight, and the hazy atmosphere of the metropolis. His works are an exploration of light and mood, where a fleeting glimpse of urban bustle is transformed into an object of deep contemplation.
Awards and RecognitionCristóbal Pérez García is regarded as one of the most decorated Spanish artists of his generation. Throughout his career, he has been granted more than 40 national and international awards. His talent has earned recognition in prestigious forums such as the BMW Painting Prize and the BP Portrait Award in London.

His work is also featured in major museum collections, such as the MEAM (European Museum of Modern Art) in Barcelona, and in numerous private collections from New York to Paris.
