Javier Calleja

Born in Malaga (Spain) in 1971

Calleja's work is full of various tricks that bring surprise and humor to various events in everyday life. Calleja, who claims to be a fan of the works of surrealist masters René Magritte, Yoshitomo Nara, and Chris Johansson, draws portraits of us living in the modern age with a big eye, while referring to their techniques. Changes in color, changes in the setting scene, and the relationship between facial expressions and text are points that Calleja pays particular attention to. In addition, the setting of a story that the viewer naturally reads out due to the correlation with the characterization and the text drawn in the painting is also one of the traps set by Calleja.Even in a world hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, Calleja's work continues to fascinate people more than ever, as people empathize with the artist, who faces difficulties with witty imagination and seeks to take a positive approach to all aspects of life.
