“SOMETIMES THERE IS NOTHING TO UNDERSTAND IN MY WORKS, YOU ONLY HAVE TO FEEL”

Javier Calleja is a Spanish figurative artist born in Malaga, where he lives and works. After studying Fine Art at the University of Granada, he started developing his distinctive artistic style, notable for his instantly recognizable characters with big eyes and exaggerated features which capture the spectator’s attention. Often accompanied with symbolic elements and introspective phrases, these characters invite us to enter a world suffused with emotiveness.
