Julião Sarmento is one of the most important Portuguese artists of recent decades. We have been able to enjoy his work in Spain in great exhibitions such as the CAAM in the Canary Islands in 2015, the Luis Seone Foundation in La Coruña in 2014, La Casa Encendida in Madrid in 2011, the CAC in Malaga in 2010, the Marcelino Botín Foundation in Santander or the MEIAC in Badajoz in 2006 and at the Palacio de Velázquez (the Reina Sofia Museum) in Madrid in 1999, among others. In private spaces he has worked with art galleries such as Ivorypress, Joan Prats, Juana de Aizpuru, Heinrich Ehrhardt, Marga Paz and Pepe Cobo.
