JAVIER ANDRÉS 🇲🇽
Style: Pop Art
Technique: Mixed
By his grandparents’ artists painters, Javier nourished, since childhood, an inclination insured by the arts. Supported by his family, he draws and paints as he learns the lives of famous artists through books. At the end of his secondary education, he joined a higher school of architecture, second field he likes. After three years of learning, drawing the sad observation that an architect’s career was not sufficiently worn in creation for him, Javier abandoned his training without knowing what his destiny would be.
Attracted by Pop art, and mainly by the work of the American artist Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997), the young man takes his interest in the Mexican painters of this movement and begins, first timidly and humbly, his own production.
As he painted, Javier regained the passion that animated him when he was a child, and ended up making very many acrylics on canvas which he adorns the walls of his apartment. From thread to needle, his works will attract more and more people, until he is tempted to consider a career.
Today, after five years of developing his technique and know-how, Javier has developed a personal style that is firmly in tune with his time. A fervent heir to Pop art, he in turn likes to interpret, according to his own criteria and sensibilities, the icons of the world of entertainment or the characters from the universe of comics that are now part of our collective memory, not without a certain humour and a dose of provocation.

José Antonio Martínez De la Cruz, better known as JAMDELAC, held his first solo exhibition at the Casa de la Cultura Tonacalli in Iztapalapa, Mexico City in 1999, an experience that encouraged him to continue on that path. Thanks to this and his curiosity, he later joined various artistic experimentation workshops – Graphic Design, Sculpture, and Painting – at the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
Armed with his stencils, he combines ink, spray paint, and acrylic, as well as elements of Mexican popular culture, dazzling us with works full of textures that invite observation. He aims not only to represent symbols or icons but also to include hidden messages in his works, many of which can be visualized under ultraviolet light, or even through 3D glasses. His willingness to show his work from any perspective gifts us with multisensory pieces that also add a new perception to what Mexico represents. From Iztapalapa to the World, 1982
