Painter and engraver of self-taught formation, Brinkmann began painting in the fifties and soon became part of the Picasso Group in Malaga, collaborating in the Artistic Movement of the Mediterranean. In 1961 he traveled to Germany, where he spent three years living in the cities of Berlin and Cologne, while maintaining contact with the "Fluxus" group, illustrating musical scores for Cornelius Cardew. Later he settled in Rome to return in 1966 to Malaga and settle in his hometown, although since 1992 he works and resides for long periods in Madrid. He continues with an intense and extensive work, with involvement in workshops and other activities related to the plastic arts.
