About Cristóbal Gabarrón
Cristobal Gabarron continues the language of his painting in his spatial works. His sculptures are often painted. Gabarrón wants to contribute to the peaceful and dignified coexistence of people, in harmony with their natural environment. His career is therefore dedicated to spreading hope and optimism and the humanist idea. He feels an affinity with the objectives of the Charter of the United Nations and those of the Olympic Games. In 1986 he designed the postage stamp for the International Year of Peace and for the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992 he made a mural about the Olympic idea. An Olympic Forest can be seen on the Stadionplein during ARTZUID. An installation of 26 painted elements that together form a star. It is a contemporary tribute to the Olympic Games that took place in Amsterdam in 1928. In Mula there is a museum dedicated to this humanist of colours.
