[edit] Art career
In 1954, Atienza separated himself from his artistic work to dedicate to himself to professional sports, playing football with Real Madrid. He, however, participated in diverse group exhibitions and he stayed close to the artistic world as a complementary activity. In 1958, during a travel around Central Europe, he discovered the color glass fitted in concrete as an artistic expression. In these days, he started to collaborate with different artists. He left professional sports and began the accomplishment of mosaic murals and stained glasses. In 1964, he started to create ceramic murals. His first artistic work was in the Hotel Carlton Rioja (Logroño, Spain), and constituted the discovering of his artistic possibilities. He moved to Venezuela in 1976, where he incorporated new materials to his artistic expression, creating iron, bronze and aluminum murals. He participated directly in different architectonic projects, obtaining a perfect harmony between his works and the surroundings. In 2001, he again moved his residence to Spain, where he is working in different paintings, participating in different exhibitions and showrooms.
