With a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Madrid’s Complutense University, Okuda San Miguel’s unique iconographic language of geometric structures and multicolored patterns have made him one of the world’s best-known urban artists.

His paintings can be found in streets and on buildings worldwide. As an artist, he is coveted for his large-scale interventions, such as Kaos Temple (2015), which transformed a new skate park housed in the building of an old church into a showcase for contemporary art.

Okuda’s work blends multicolored geometric architectures with organic shapes, anonymous bodies, headless animals and symbols that provoke reflection among his viewers. His style can be described as Pop Surrealism, all the while staying true to its roots in the streets.

Okuda’s works often raise existentialist questions and reflect on the universe, the infinite, the meaning of life and the contradictions of the system in which we live. Through his creations, Okuda San Miguel lays bare the conflict between modernity and our roots, of the human condition itself.
