Work

Garbade is one of Spanish expressionists, who turned to Pop art during the Movida madrileña . His stroke is personal and minimalistic. Writer Alvaro Pombo described Garbade's work by coining the term "garbatear". [2] Garbade's portraits are melancholy yet humorous and aim to show mankind at its core. Nobel Prize winner José Saramago once said, "Garbade shows us humanity where it unfolds" [3] His most well-known portraits include those of Nancy Cunard, [4] King Juan Carlos I, Rodriguez Zapatero, Kofi Annan and Pedro Almodovar. His image of the naked Pope Benedict XVI attracted attention in 2006 and was removed from his exhibition at the request of the Swiss government. [5]

Poetry

In 1987, he took part in the publication of poems as co-founder of the Signos Magazine.

Sculpture

On behalf of the Dadaists of the Cabaret Voltaire in Zürich, he designed the gravestone of Mikhail Bakunin at the Bremgarten cemetery, Berne. The City of Toledo in Spain invited Garbade to exhibit his sculptures at the Oratorio de San Felipe Neri in 2022. [6]
