Maximino Javier Figurative Paintings

Mexican, b. 1948
Maximino Javier (b. 1948) is a renowned Oaxacan artist recognized for his exploration of Latin American mythology in his art. He was a founding member of the Rufino Tamayo Workshop in Oaxaca, where he developed a distinct artistic approach emphasizing technical precision and cultural storytelling. His work often blends popular traditions with mythical narratives, employing meticulous use of color, form, and composition to transform folkloric themes into complex artistic statements. Javier's art is known for its fantasy-oriented and whimsical nature, often featuring anthropomorphic elements and imaginative compositions, as seen in the expressive moon and stylized figures. His works frequently explore themes from Latin American mythology and the intricate relationship between humans and nature, reflected in the depiction of the musician and the moon in a mystical setting. Unmistakable Iconography: Javier developed a unique and recognizable iconography, which is evident in the distinct forms and imaginative portrayal of characters and elements in these pieces, matching his unique aesthetic.

Japan Japanese Garden by French naive outsider folk art primitive artist

Located in Norwich, GB

A perfect painting for lovers of Japan, and for admirers of naïve or outsider art.

During the Second World War, he joined the French Resistance, where he met painters, poets and intellectuals who introduced him to an artistic world far removed from his origins. Entirely self-taught, Loirand devoted every spare moment to painting and soon began exhibiting alongside established artists. After moving to Paris in the 1950s, he continued to earn his living as a technician while painting through the night. In 1968, he finally became a full-time artist.
