About me

Bio

Starboyjavi, whose real name is Javier (1990), is an emerging artist from Spain who has been painting privately for himself, friends, and family since 2015, holding two small but welcoming exhibitions. His works have gradually evolved and, since January 2025, have started to be shared publicly, marking a meaningful new chapter.

Javi, as he is often called, is a self-taught artist. Regarding his academic education, he holds a Bachelor's degree in Social Work (2016), which laid the foundation for his commitment to society. He later obtained a Master's degree in Public Health (2017), where he gained deeper insights into global health and well-being. Finally, he completed his academic training with a PhD with highest honors in Sociology (2021), working since then as data analyst in different social and health areas.

Following recent personal events and heartbreak, Javi returned to painting in January 2025 as a means of healing and personal growth. Now, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, he is ready to share his work, bringing forth new life through his art.

Style

  • Hight intensity

    Bold, strong, fast and energetic brushstrokes in a whirlwind of intensity that pauses for moments to regain composure and serenity. Incorporates intentional use of circular shapes and enveloping patterns made with unconventional tools.

  • Versatility & flexibility

    Unique elements can be appreciated from multiple angles. Rotating the canvas as desired is encouraged, regardless of the signature's location. This allows for adaptable orientation and placement, letting the artwork harmonize with the viewer's energy and preferences.

  • Perceptive freedom

    Figures can be intuited and reinterpreted based on each viewer's unique perspective. These forms remain intentionally undefined, without specific details or rigid boundaries, to foster an open, unconditioned visual experience, prioritizing subjective imagination over imposed narratives.

  • Main techniques

    The techniques I use most are dripping, impasto, blending, layering and sgraffito.

  • Thematic diversity

    Diverse themes are explored such as fantasy, animals, time, space, science fiction, mythology or love.

  • Hidden stories

    Nevertheless, each piece includes a title and descriptions that reflect one of the visions during its creation.
