Galician painter, Corredoira, began his career at first linked to La Galga, an artistic group committed to the liberation and modernization of art. In the 1980s he continued to be linked to a group, in this case Atlántica, with which he held numerous exhibitions both in Galicia and in other national cities. In addition, during this period he also founded Grupo Orzán, with a commercial vision, in which they tried to democratize the market. As for his work, it is defined by a great experimentation that has led him to make sculptural works, graphic works, and painting both easel and mural. During his career he was awarded a scholarship, which allowed him to travel for a year to Mexico for training. His pieces are based on natural themes with a figurative and expressive aesthetic.
