Born in Madrid in 1963, this Spanish painter studied at the School of Fine Arts in Madrid. In 1985, he was invited by the Youth Institute to hold his first solo exhibition. At the beginning of his career, he worked with constructivist references, incorporating material into his artwork, which positioned him as an heir to Spanish informalism, particularly inspired by Lucio Muñoz. Over time, his structured and rigid surfaces became adorned with dynamic motifs, giving a fresh interpretation to his work. This contrast allowed Sicilia Sobrino to approach the values introduced in Spanish painting by Luis Gordillo. His artwork is characterized by rough and metallic textures, as well as vibrant colors.
In the 90s, his painting style evolved into an emblematic approach, featuring monochromatic backgrounds overlaid with recognizable silver silhouettes of characters such as Mickey Mouse, objects, flowers, flags, and stars. These silhouettes were coated with a layer of polyester, which gave the surface a metallic quality. Among his notable solo exhibitions are those held at Galeria Oliva Arauna, Madrid (1988), Emilio Navarro, Madrid (1991), and Galeria 57, Madrid (1994). He has also been awarded in various art competitions, including the Plastic Arts Contest of Alcobendas, Madrid (1993), the 2nd Biennial of the City of Albacete (1988), the 3rd Painting Biennial of Murcia (1989), and the Carlos Haes Painting Prize of the College of Engineers of Madrid (1993).
