Javier

Known for realistic, exquisite reproductions of still life images, it is no coincidence that Javier Mulio is simply known as Javier among his international list of collectors. Hailing from the artistically popular
Alcoy (Alicante) Spain, Javier was born December 24, 1957 and was inspired by the artists around him at an early age. He started painting at fourteen and quickly began formal training four years later.

From 1962 to 1971 Javier studied at the Virgen de los Lirios in his home-town and remained there while he received a Fourth Degree Certificate. He also studied at the School of Mila Gómez between 1973 and 1976. His personal style and technique blend his interests in photography with the styles he learned under the Classic Master Zurbarán and instructor Mila Gómez. Javier credits his admiration and study of Salvador Dalí with inspiring him to explore the possibilities of art.

Javier discovered great passion and success in depicting his favorite still life subjects - flowers and fruit. His style lends perception, elegance and simplicity to the objects he portrays. By identifying the beauty and small details of the world around him, a magnificent still life takes form in Javier’s paintings. Upon completing his education, Javier began painting professionally and has since become internationally recognized for the realistic, small details he captures in his still life images. His works are included in private collections throughout Japan, Saudi Arabia, Jakarta, Bahrain, Holland and the United States. Collectors include a Saudi Arabian Prince, and many other important aristocrats and business people
throughout the world.
