In Spain, the Ibero-Swiss company hosted the main Spanish artists from the mid-1960s to the 1990s. The serigrapher José Llopis made this firm an indisputable reference in terms of artistic printing. From artists linked to pop art, optical art or geometric art to Zóbel or Tàpies, and including artists with a clear political commitment such as Renau, Genovés, Equipo Crónica or Equipo Realidad, they all found Ibero-Suiza's silkscreen printing an ideal technique for their projects: they liked its industrial character, its procedures, the effects and nuances obtained, and the affinity of all this with the resources of the media.
José María Molina Ciges trained at the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Carlos in Valencia, and since his debut in 1965 he has held solo exhibitions in Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona and other Spanish cities, as well as in Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Santiago de Chile, Bordeaux, Paris and New York, where he lived in 1971. He has also participated in more than a hundred group exhibitions and in important art fairs all over the world. In 2001 the Valencian government dedicated an important anthological exhibition to him, which was presented in several cities in the Valencian Community, and in 2004 Molina Ciges held a major exhibition at the Museum of Illustration. He is currently represented in numerous public collections, such as the IVAM in Valencia, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Vilafamés, the Conde Duque Centre in Madrid, the Salvador Allende Museum in Chile, the International Museum of Lanzarote, the Institute of Hispanic Culture in Madrid, the Museum of Spanish Engraving in Marbella, the Spanish embassies in Brasilia, Bogotá and Abidjan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Presidential Palace of Malabo (Equatorial Guinea), the Parador Nacional de Segovia and the collections of Caja de Ahorros de Valencia, Banco Zaragozano, Banco de Vizcaya (Alicante) and Caja Rural de Valencia, as well as in various private European and American collections.
