SALVADOR OLMEDO

A MASTER IN MEMORIAM


On February 2, our dear friend and Master Pastelist Salvador Olmedo suddenly passed away. Salvador was a pioneer of Pastel in Spain and his books were a reference for many years for all those who approached the pastel technique for the first time.
He had been elected Master Pastelist of ASPAS, and was to be publicly proclaimed at the inauguration of the VII International Biennial. He did not arrive in time to receive our applause, but he remains forever one of the greats of Spanish Pastel.
REST IN PEACE, DEAR FRIEND AND TEACHER!

GERMÁN ARACIL

This is our heartfelt and loving tribute.

They are works by Germán that were awarded in some of our Biennial exhibitions.

Rest in Peace, German friend!

  • A Pastel Master has gone away.

In early 2009 one of our ASPAS members, JOAN MARTÍ,  died. A great person, an excellent painter and a strong enthusiast of Pastel.
Many Spanish pastellists have learned or perfected their technique with his help both personally and through the publications he to which contributed. Go from here our appreciation and heartfelt tribute.
