Javier Artica

Born in Pamplona (1984). Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Salamanca (2003-2008). He has exhibited individually in cities such as Pamplona, Salamanca and Avilés. He has participated in various group exhibitions in Barcelona, Salamanca, Valladolid, Bilbao, Segovia, Toledo, Pamplona and Estella. He develops his activity in Madrid with painting and collage projects.

Javier Artica's work is mainly inspired by Nature. His artistic references are those of Critical Figuration and Realism. In addition to his oil paintings, the artist makes collages by hand with papers recovered from old magazines. The dreamlike and surreal universe of his collages serve as a basis, a sketch, and then create the staging of his paintings.
