Okuda San Miguel
Nato a Santander, Spagna, 1980. Vive e lavora a Madrid. Il linguaggio iconografico unico di Okuda San Miguel, con le sue strutture geometriche e i motivi multicolori, insieme alla sua partecipazione attiva a importanti progetti sociali, lo ha reso uno degli artisti più riconosciuti e ammirati al mondo.
Nel 2015, Okuda ha completato il Tempio di Kaos, un momento clou della sua carriera in cui ha trasformato una chiesa trasformata in uno skate park in una vetrina per l'arte contemporanea. Da allora, è stato ricercato da istituzioni culturali e marchi privati di tutto il mondo per lavorare su progetti pubblici su larga scala, così come per il suo poliedrico studio. Il repertorio di Okuda comprende interventi murali e scultorei e mostre in gallerie in quattro continenti. È stato il primo artista contemporaneo ad essere scelto per il prestigioso festival Fallas di Valencia, ha installato una spettacolare serie di sculture per Boston Seaport e ha partecipato al progetto Titanes, per promuovere l'inclusione sociale attraverso l'arte. Produce anche lavori su tela, incorporando elementi di ricamo e collage. Il suo insaziabile appetito per la creazione lo ha portato anche a sperimentare altri formati, come scultura, fotografia e video. Le sue creazioni mescolano colore e geometria con forme organiche per creare una simbologia evocativa. Il lavoro di Okuda può essere classificato come Pop Surrealism ma mantiene l'essenza delle sue radici nelle strade. Cercando sempre di ispirare gli spettatori, le sue opere sollevano questioni universali lasciando a loro l'interpretazione finale.
Born in Santander, Spain, 1980. Lives in Madrid and works from his studio in the Spanish capital.
The unique iconographic language of Okuda San Miguel, with its geometric structures and multicolored patterns, together with his active participation in major social projects, has made him one of the world’s most recognized and admired artists.
In 2015, Okuda completed Kaos Temple, a highlight of his career in which he transformed a church converted into a skate park into a showcase for contemporary art. Since then, he has been sought out by cultural institutions and private brands across the world to work on large-scale public projects, as well as for his multifaceted studio practice, which he began in 2009.
Okuda’s repertoire includes mural and sculptural interventions and gallery exhibitions on four continents. His distinctions include being the first contemporary artist to be chosen for Valencia’s prestigious Fallas festival, a spectacular series of sculptures for Boston Seaport and his participation in the Titanes project, designed to promote social inclusion through art.
He also produces work on canvas, incorporating elements of embroidery and collage. His insatiable appetite for creation has also led him to experiment with other formats, such as sculpture, photography and video.
His creations mix color and geometry with organic shapes to create an evocative symbology. Okuda’s work can be classified as Pop Surrealism but maintains the essence of its roots in the streets. Always seeking to inspire viewers, his works raise universal issues while leaving the final interpretation up to them.
