Okuda San Miguel

Based in Madrid, Okuda San Miguel is internationally recognised for his iconic visual language of geometric structures and multicoloured patterns. Fusing art and the urban landscape, he creates a kind of Pop Surrealism that retains the essence of its roots in the streets. His murals, sculptural interventions and gallery exhibitions have attracted collaborations with many cultural institutions and brands, such as Valencia’s prestigious Falles festival, the Titanes project, which promotes social inclusion through art, and his commission to create a spectacular series of sculptures for Boston Seaport in the US. A personal career highlight is the Kaos Temple in Asturias, Spain, which he completed in 2015, transforming a church converted into a skate park into a showcase for his unique vision. ‘My work seeks to provoke reflections on issues that affect us all, with an optimistic message that invites people to enter a magical world.’
