Adolfo Estrada began his training in the workshop of Ignacio Colombres, and in 1962 he left his native Argentina to move to Madrid, where he expanded his training at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando. He finally settled permanently in Sant Martí Vell (Girona), where he has lived since 1975. He held his first individual exhibition at the Pizarro Gallery in Buenos Aires in 1962, and three years later he presented his first personal exhibition in Madrid, at the Ateneo. Since then he has held solo exhibitions in several Spanish cities, as well as in Argentina, France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal, Germany, Mexico, Brazil and the Netherlands. Among the most recent are those held at the Alejandro Sales gallery in Barcelona (2010), Dan gallery in São Paulo (2012) and Sabine Puget gallery in Château Barras (France, 2013). Master of intimist painting, Adolfo Estrada has been awarded outstanding prizes such as the Penagos de Dibujo de la Fundación Mapfre (1996) or the Condesa de Barcelona (1981), and is represented in the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Toledo, the Museo de Ponce in Puerto Rico, the Palacio de Liria in Madrid, the Municipal Museums of Sabadell and Santander, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Lausanne, the Ford Foundation in New York and other public and private collections.
