In 1964, Valdés, Rafael Solbes and Joan Toledo collaborated to form Equipo Crónica, an artistic team that used Pop Art to address the Spanish dictatorship of Francisco Franco and the history of art itself. After the group disbanded in 1981, Valdés reinvented himself.

It draws heavily on Spanish artistic heritage, particularly the work of Velázquez and the informalism of his immediate predecessors Manolo Millares, Antonio Saura and Antoni Tàpies. Using etching, screen printing and collage techniques, Manolo Valdés’ prints reference these and other masters, including Rembrandt, Rubens and Matisse, creating an intellectual touch that brings important historical works out of their original context. Today Valdés lives and works in New York and Madrid.
