Martín Merino and the portrait of the flamencos
Martín Merino Román, artistic painter, was born in 1945 in Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz). Almost as a child, he attended the School of Arts and Trades in his hometown. He belongs, therefore, to a generation that was trained in the so-called auxiliary wine industry that so needed graphic arts. There he acquired great skill as a draftsman, a quality that led him to work in companies in this branch such as the demanding Jerez Industrial. A great foundation for undertaking, at a certain age, his transition to painting. As the art critic warns Bernard Palomo, "His work is based on that decisive drawing that structures any good project. For this reason, his portraits are very well composed works, narrators of a reality that the author dominates to carry out with just the right precision." This gallery dedicated to figures of art jondo, Flamencos from my land, is a clear example of the quality and skill that its author possesses.
