MAESTRO is a Spanish artist who divides his time between the eastern coast of Spain and the western coast of the United States. He studied, trained and developed a professional practice as an architect and designer before beginning his artistic career.

After immigrating to the United States, MAESTRO picked up a phone with a minimal data plan. The images on his screen often failed to load and he found himself intrigued by his own frustration. Over the following months, while working to rebuild his career as an architect in California, MAESTRO began to draw pixels, inspired by the not-quite-finished state of images he had been seeing on his phone.

Within months, he was accepted into the Santa Barbara Art Association and over the next three years he began to cultivate a loyal social media following and establish himself as a presence at respected art galleries. His first solo exhibition, “LOADING” recently opened at the HOMME Gallery in Washington D.C.

On this episode, host Angela de Burger chats with MAESTRO about his creative journey, the contrast offered by his fine art drawings of half-rendered images, how he blends his skills as an architect and artist, and his first solo exhibition, “LOADING”.
