MalOjo: A Visionary Artist Blending Classical Art and Pop Culture
My first connection to art was through churches and comic books. I’ve kept a great passion for classical art forms as well as for pop culture.
The Characters in My Art: Deities of a Lost or Future Pantheon
To me, the characters present in my works are deities of a lost or future pantheon: forgotten gods or child gods, deities over little things in the manner of Roman Lares or Japanese kami.
Exhibitions and Recognition Around the World
MalOjo was born in Bayonne (Basque Country), and his work has gained recognition in the U.S. through several exhibitions and conventions in cities like New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Portland, and more. His art has also been showcased in Mexico City and throughout Europe, including Euskadi, Netherlands, Belgium, Scotland, Ireland, and France. Soon, MalOjo’s work will be featured in Japan.
