Born in Soria (Spain) on the
18th of April of 1956, Alberto Pancorbo started to paint
from a very early age in his native city. At the age of 18,
he transferred to the city of Barcelona with the ultimate
goal to dedicate himself only to painting. In 1980, he
became an exclusive artist of Sala Gaudi (Barcelona), which
exposed his paintings for the first time in the
international fair of art of Basiela (Swiss).
He began a period of
exhibitions in different cities of Spain and overseas. In
many of these exhibitions, he obtained several prizes in
various art contests. In 1985, he held his first exhibition
in Madrid and was awarded the “Artist Revelation of the
Year” by the magazine Correo del Arte de Madrid.
The
first publication on the paintings of Pancorbo is published
in Barcelona in 1986 and afterward he moved to his new
residence in Bogotá (Colombia) where he holds numerous solo
and joint exhibitions. These include the United States,
Mexico and others countries of the Americas. He successfully
participates in numerous fairs of Art and auctions,
including world famous Sotheby’s (New York). In 1994, the
book “Labyrinths of the Core” by Pancorbo was published,
compiling great selections of his paintings. The book is
featured in several publications of realistic art.
His works
are displayed in different private and public collections
throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. In 1998, Pancorbo
moved to Miami where he lives at the present time, a city in
which he has had numerous exhibitions for 16 years.
A visitor to the labyrinth
of Alberto Pancorbo's imagination is confronted at every
turn with symbols both ancient and modern. They allude to
human existence, struggle, and frequently, human
insensitivity to the world. Caught in the chaos of urban
life, traditional values are sometimes lost or forgotten, or
rendered meaningless. Pancorbo has mastered a
super-realistic style of painting that is capable of
transforming the totally imaginary into the totally
convincing. In this strange and bewildering world of the
labyrinth . . . Pancorbo's world of Fantastic Realism.
