Javier Andres | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Thanks to his artist grandparents, Javier had a strong inclination for the arts since childhood. Supported by his family, he drew and painted while learning about the lives of famous artists through books. After graduating from high school, he entered a college of architecture, a second field he loved. After three years of apprenticeship, Javier sadly realized that the career of an architect was not creative enough for him. He abandoned his studies without knowing what his destiny would be. Attracted by Pop Art, and mainly by the work of the American artist Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1977), the young man turned his attention to the Mexican painters of this movement and began, at first timidly and with humility, his own production. As he painted, Javier rediscovered the passion that animated him as a child, and ended up making numerous acrylics on canvas which he adorned the walls of his apartment. One thing leading to another, his works will seduce more and more people, until he considers making a career out of it. Today, after five years devoted to perfecting his technique and know-how, Javier has developed a personal style that is resolutely in tune with the times. A fervent heir of Pop Art, he likes to interpret, according to his own criteria and sensibilities, the icons of the entertainment world or the characters from the world of comics that are now part of our collective memory, not without a certain humor and a dose of provocation.
