A Spanish painter, Javier began his career at the age of 14 in his father's studio, where he learned the basics of painting. At 21, he went freelance, painting the sea, waves, and cities in a realistic style.
These elements required significant work with light and its reflection. Wave paintings, however, represent a significant challenge due to the constant movement that must be conveyed on the canvas.Javier creates his paintings color by color and layer by layer, superimposing different lights for a realistic result.
Since 2002, Javier has exhibited around the world. His most recent exhibition was dedicated to surfers.

Depuis toujours, la mer fascine les artistes. Elle attire, apaise, inquiète parfois. Elle est à la fois paysage, matière, horizon et mouvement. D’une époque à l’autre, les peintres, sculpteurs et photographes n’ont cessé de revenir vers elle, cherchant à saisir ce qui, par nature, échappe au regard : son mouvement perpétuel, ses changements de lumière, ses silences et ses tempêtes.
