Javier Margad (born 1 October 1975) is a contemporary neofigurative painter who falls within the framework of visual Hypermodernity. After a successful career in technology and communications as entrepreneur [1], he decided to make a change in his life and train as an artist, successfully reaching important art collectors with his work. He has exhibited at major international art fairs and in the principal cities of Spain, such as Madrid Galería Origen [2] and Catalonia (Abartium[3]).
Early Life and Education
Mercado was born on October 1, 1975, in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. He pursued his passion for history by earning a bachelor's degree in History from UNED (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia). Additionally, he graduated in Computer Science from the University of Cádiz.
Career
At the age of 35, after studying Cultural Anthropology, he decided to approach his artistic work from a new perspective, delving into what the French philosopher and sociologist Gilles Lipovetsky calls Hypermodernity. Places without history and paradoxes of individuality in our time serve as the guiding thread of a unique and courageous body of work committed to the present. To achieve this, he offers a highly personal interpretation of pictorial techniques, employing a variety of visual resources to communicate what lies beneath the everyday.
Personal Life
Outside of his professional endeavors, Mercado maintains a private life. His passion for arts extends beyond his career, reflecting a deep personal interest in the history of arts.
