In 1996, he was awarded the National Prize for Plastic Arts in Spain<ref name="boe"/> for "his decisive contribution to the debate on the new Spanish painting" and the "rigor and courage with which he has developed a work in which he combines construction and expressiveness in an exemplary manner".<ref name="pais"/> Campano works can be found in museums such as the [[Reina Sofía Museum]] in Madrid, the [[Museo de Arte Abstracto Español|Abstract Art Museum]] in [[Cuenca, Spain|Cuenca]], the [[Bilbao Fine Arts Museum]], the [[Artium Museum|ARTIUM Centre-Basque Museum of Contemporary Art]], the [[Institut Valencià d'Art Modern|Valencian Institute of Modern Art]], the [[Georges Pompidou Centre]] in Paris and the [[Hastings Foundation]] collection in [[New York City|New York]].
