+ OVERVIEW

Artist Edgar Plans, who grew up in Southern Europe, naturally incorporates warm tones into his paintings. His themes are rooted in his past life experiences and contemporary issues he cares deeply about.He openly expresses his admiration for street art, including graffiti, comics, illustrations, and animated films. The trendy, contemporary character designs play a key role in shaping his artistic style. He draws inspiration from the works of predecessors such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, and Takashi Murakami, blending their influence with autobiographical elements. Around 2009, he created a character known as the "Animal Hero"—a figure wearing a helmet and a cape. His work Am I Batman? humorously references the superhero theme from the Batman films. Beyond symbolizing strength, it repeatedly emphasizes the importance of "dreams" and conveys a message of positivity
