ORIGEN original fine art

Javier Mateos was born in Madrid in 1975 and holds a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts with a focus on painting from the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM).

He is a purely abstract painter, with a rich, virtuoso, and impeccable technique. His sources of inspiration are very diverse. The visual journey through his painting is filled with mixed media everywhere.

Javier Mateos works with various mediums including graphite, watercolors, pastels, and charcoals. He also creates texture or marks on the surface of the painting with transfer or posed with all kinds of tools created by himself. He adds collages of silks of different colors and torn, and painting, where he equally leaves nothing aside. Bases of marmolina with acrylics, varnishes, oils, and enamels are seen in his work, where his technique of painting with dry points or metal brushes always brings back the question of how to assimilate such a quantity of visual information that his painting has. The chromatic palette consists of opposites in light and darkness.
