Simancas Group

The group of artists and intellectuals created a dynamic working together, with mutual influences in Valladolid during the 1960s and 1970s, expanding the horizons of local culture.

[5] Fernando Gutiérrez Baños, curator of the 2011 retrospective, points out that "There was never a closed group or a registry book with a specific ideology, although their essence can be summarized in those six [artists].

One such example is Alejandro Conde López, also from Valladolid, stylistically aligned and from the same generation as Cuadrado Lomas or Gaona, who exhibited at Fernando Santiago's gallery but later emigrated to Paris and settled in Madrid.

Jorge Vidal, a Chilean artist who arrived in Valladolid in 1967, developed a body of work characterized by striking colorful abstraction.

Gabino Gaona also painted in an expressive and colorful style, often portraying the Castilian landscape, which he shared with the group and particularly connected him to Cuadrado Lomas.
