Luis Marín Bosqued
Luis Marín Bosqued (Zaragoza, Spain, 1909 - 1987) began his artistic training at the Escuela de Artes y Oficios (School of Arts and Crafts) in Madrid and later at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando (Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernarndo). In Madrid, he worked as an independent arts instructor until the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. During the conflict, he served as General Commissioner in Santander until 1939, when he exiled in Mexico.
In Mexico, Marín Bosqued worked as a painting and drawing instructor in various institutes and schools in Mexico City. His work was characterized by the use of contrasts between solid colors and black tones, and he became a highly sought-after portraitist. He created portraits of prominent heads of state, as well as artists and intellectuals of his era.
In 1972, he returned to Spain, where he became a member of the Real Academia de Nobles y Bellas Artes de San Luis de Zaragoza (Royal Academy of Noble and Fine Arts of San Luis de Zaragoza). Throughout his life, he received numerous awards, and his work was showcased in exhibitions honoring his artistic career.
