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 furthered his training at the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts. He finally settled permanently in Sant Martí Vell (Girona), where he has lived since 1975. He held his first solo 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 various Spanish cities, as well as in Argentina, France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal, Germany, Mexico, Brazil and the Netherlands. His most recent exhibitions include those held at the galleries Alejandro Sales in Barcelona (2010), Dan in São Paulo (2012) and Sabine Puget in Château Barras (France, 2013).
