Artist: Enrique Broglia
Before turning 20, Broglia stood out as a draftsman and won some important awards—the first most significant, at the National Fine Arts Hall of Uruguay in 1961—which helped him trust his passion for art as his profession. The year 1965 was crucial in his future. It was then that Broglia deployed his activity beyond Uruguay and appeared strongly on the international scene with an exhibition in New York ( United States ) and another in Porto Alegre ( Brazil ), in addition to touring Europe. Three years later he obtained a scholarship from the French government that allowed him to settle in Paris while he continued to hold individual exhibitions around the world: sculpture, painting, drawing, engravings, lithographs. He lived in Paris for several years, during which time he dominated the large sculptures that occupy various public spaces in France. In the late 1970s, Broglia's commissions for works reached from Osaka University ( Japan ) to Europe ( Belgium , Spain , Italy , Switzerland ) and the United States. In the 1980s he settled in Alaró , (island of Mallorca , Spain), where he lived and worked until 1996 with a production of sculptural work that would remain on the island, much of it under the protection of the Collection Fund. d'Art Serra , but also with commissions for large events that will be spread around the world, such as the sculptures made for the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games . Also at that time he collaborated in the publication of El Baquiano y los sus (with Mario Benedetti ) and Vins i déus (work by Pere Antoni Serra Bauzà for which he made the lithographs).
