1987 Javier Mariscal Poster Dia del Teatre

The Mediterranean, the lagoon, the light, the friends, the bars, the streets, the passion for life have marked his artistic career. From a young age his look at the world imagines shapes, stories and characters that escape from any label and stereotype, always showing his particular vital universe, full of stories, characters, funny calligraphies and his distorted lines that break limits.

Painter, designer, comic book artist... he works in all kinds of media and artistic disciplines: graphic design, landscaping, painting, sculpture, illustration, animation, product design, interior design, multimedia; without ever betraying his identity as a cartoonist.
His great specialty is drawing, so his attitude towards any assignment is artistic, using a universal and timeless language that adds value, uniqueness and emotion to his proposals. His boldness runs parallel to the great challenges he has taken on, from the mascot of the Barcelona Olympic Games to the global design of a luxury hotel, the illustration of the covers of the New Yorker, El País and the Japanese Apo or the creation of the animated film Chico & Rita with Fernando Trueba, winner of a Goya and nominated for the Oscars as best animated film.

Awarded with the "National Design Award", member of Alliance Graphique Internationale, he exhibits at the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris, participates in Kassel Documentary and has several retrospective exhibitions in centers such as the London Design Museum, La Pedrera or in South Korea.

Mariscal is currently working on the preliminary drawings for "They Shot the Piano Player", an animated documentary film co-directed with Fernando Trueba, a comic about the formation of our planet and the creatures that live on it, a book about Havana and has just presented the Los Angeles travel diary for the French brand Louis Vuitton. His international projection and media repercussion accompany him in his conferences and workshops around the world.
