Ciclo Arte: Benjamín Palencia, Vida y Obra

This lecture in the Ciclo Arte series offers a deep dive into the life and work of Benjamín Palencia, one of the great renovators of 20th-century Spanish painting. Over the course of an hour, art historian Eva Puig traces his creative evolution, his close ties to the Castilian landscape, and his role in movements such as the Escuela de Vallecas, showing how his art blended tradition and avant-garde into a distinctive pictorial language.

Set in the Centro Cultural Benjamín Palencia in Villa de Vallecas, the session is aimed at audiences aged 16 and up, making it a thoughtful cultural outing for anyone interested in Spanish art history. The intimate setting of a neighborhood cultural center adds a local, community feel to the experience, inviting attendees to engage with the artist's legacy in a personal way.
