Javier Mariscal is above all a creator of images. He develops his work using all kinds of supports and disciplines (comic, illustration, graphic design, industrial and textile forms, painting, sculpture, multi-media, entertainment and interior design). Mariscal was born in Valencia in 1950. In 1971, he moved to Barcelona where he studied graphic design at the Escola Elisava. In the late 1970s, he launched his professional career with several artistic exhibitions and began his work in design for the textile industry, graphic illustration, furniture and interior design. In 1988, he produced the winning design for Cobi, the mascot of the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. One year later, in 1989, he founded Estudio Mariscal in a former tanning factory, with a team of employees capable of developing his work on a larger scale. Projects of Estudio Mariscal include the creation of the corporate image of the Onda Zero radio station; the mascot for the 2000 World Fair in Hannover, baptised as Twipsy; the new image of the Barcelona Zoo; the graphic image of the Universidad de Valencia; the new institutional image of Gavà, Barcelona, winner of a Laus award; the image of the Bussi urban information channel in Valencia; the logo for the Olympic pre-candidature of Madrid 2012; the project for the integral design of the Gran Hotel Domine, Bilbao; the corporate image of the Gran Via L’Hospitalet centre, Barcelona; the concept, graphic image, signing and two multi-media shows for the theme park Felisia in the south of Italy, as well as graphic image of the film directed by Fernando Trueba, Calle 54, and the integral design of the Calle 54 Club in Madrid, among others.
