Frutos María Martínez (born 21 January 1949) is a Spanish Sculpture and Painting. He lives and works in Alicante, Spain.

Biography

Frutos María Martínez was born in Hontoria de Valdearados, in the province of Burgos, Spain. He began sculpting and painting from an early age, building his own toys and gimmicks, thus showcasing an artisting inclination and interest in manual tasks.

At the age of 10, he began selling his creations and decorative objects in his immediate circle. Later, at the age of 15 he became a student at the "La Sindical", a trade school in Aranda de Duero where he specializes in "Industrial Mastery" with emphasis on metallurgy.

In 1985, at the age of 36, Frutos moved with his family to Alicante, Valencia and meets Juan Guardiola Gaya[1], an architect and plastic artist who became his mentor. Guardiola Gaya introduced Frutos to the circle of artists, galleries and exhibitions of Alicante.

Frutos currently resides in Alicante with his wife Ana and three children, Miguel, Paula and Julián.

Work

The artistic style and trajectory of Frutos María Martínez is marked by an environmental concern with a focus on the pollution and damage caused by discarded garbage in the ecosystems of the seas and oceans[2]. This concern drives Frutos to collect materials such as wood, iron, stone, lead, cork, resins, sand and natural pigments from the coast[3] of the Mediterranean Sea, which he uses to create his works. He made his first collective exhibition in 2008, and since then he has carried out numerous collective and individual exhibitions, working with both sculpture and painting.
