Martín Chirino (Gran Canaria, 1925) is the most cosmopolitan of the 20th-century Canary artists. Winner of the Spanish National Award for Fine Arts, he was an art intellectual who never turned his back on his roots, the Canary Islands, where this foundation has been set up in his name. He has a staggering body of work, found in public squares, museums and collections. He never stopped drawing and sculpting.
