Javier Iglesias Algora

Artist, graphic designer, publisher, curator, … are just some of the ways that Javier Iglesias has entered the art world. Born in Madrid in 1977, became interested for drawing, painting and photography at an early age. He got into computers and graphic design field when he entered the Art School. As final degree project he created, along with his twin brother, Pablo Iglesias, also artist and designer, the Belio Magazine. A periodical publication that bet on emerging art and the most groundbreaking graphic design, over the years, it would become a publishing house of art books. At the same time, both brothers have organized exhibitions, festivals and workshops, have made the graphic design of projects for different clients, among which we can highlight the image of the ARCO Contemporary Art Fair in 2005, and they have continued with the production of his own work as artists, both jointly and individually.

“These series of works are portals of light and color, images that purport to represent and recreate alternative states of consciousness, meditational travels to other realities that are within ourselves.” This inner journey that Javier Iglesias invites us born from different personal experiences that the artist has had in his life. Using as basis the psychological effect of shapes and colors, Javier’s works mix in equal parts digital art, psychedelic, Op Art, graphic design and sacred geometry represented in several ancient cultures.

“Each work, each image, is a process, a door, an experience. The intention of these works is to transform the spectator, entering through its eyes and offering an inner experience to each person. These are works to be observed quietly, going from the whole to the detail and returning from the minimum to the maximum, drifting in the way by the feeling that is being created by the combination of different shapes and colors. Closing the eyes after seeing each work and listening within.”
