Javier Mariscal

Background

Javier Mariscal was born in Valencia in 1950 and built his professional career in Barcelona. The Mediterranean culture of the two cities shows in his work through hedonism, optimism and symbolism, a vibrant range of colours and a poetic approach. In 1989 he created Estudio Mariscal, a team of specialists who work closely with him and make it possible to take on complete projects.

Signature Style

Drawing is Mariscal's great speciality, and his approach to any commission is an artistic one, in a universal, timeless language that adds value, uniqueness and emotional depth. His activity has always moved easily from one discipline to another, driven by curiosity and a passion for innovation, to make everyday life more interesting, easier and friendlier.

Notable Works

• The film Chico & Rita, which he created and directed
• For Magis: El Baúl (2005), Alma, Julian, Ladrillos, Linus and Nido

Legacy

Mariscal is internationally renowned, and his work reverberates widely in the media because he communicates directly with the general public, as does his work. His boldness is proportionate to the great challenges he has taken on.
