Miguelanxo Prado

A leading figure of the Spanish school, Miguelanxo Prado is a true virtuoso of color. Moving effortlessly from one technique to another, he adapts his style to each story to create worlds that are as poetic and dreamlike as they are hyper-realistic. His masterful command of light and shadow allows him to bring depth to his vibrantly colored settings and his characters with their distinctive expressions. An outstanding artist, he is particularly appreciated for his highly recognizable semi-realistic figurative style. 

To preserve your works on paper, we recommend that you never expose them to direct light, as UV rays can damage the mediums used. Paintings made with pastel or charcoal require special care to avoid rubbing. Works containing watercolor are particularly sensitive to light, unlike gouache and acrylic.
We advise you to display them away from windows, and to use frames made from pH-neutral conservation materials and “Museum” glass with anti-UV and anti-reflective treatment. If you prefer to keep your works unframed, we recommend storing them flat, in drawing cartons, with sheets of pH-neutral permanent paper in between. Keep them away from light and humidity.

Miguelanxo Prado was born in Spain in 1958. As early as 1979, he began publishing his first comic strips in various fanzines while studying architecture.
