Artist
Edgar Plans is a contemporary artist renowned for his colorful, expressive works that blend street art, cartoon aesthetics, and pop culture. He studied Art History at the University of Oviedo and briefly trained under Spanish painter José María Ramos before establishing his own unique artistic voice. Based in Gijón, Asturias, Plans gained international recognition through his signature Animal Heroes, child-like characters with oversized heads, capes, and masks, which he uses to explore complex themes such as social justice, gender equality, and environmental concerns. His playful yet thought-provoking style has earned him a global following, with exhibitions across Europe, Asia, and the U.S., and his work has been featured at major auction houses like Sotheby’s and Phillips.
