Felipe Almendros, born in Barcelona and raised in Badalona, is one of the biggest names in the Spanish Comic Industry. As an audiovisual artist, he collaborated in numerous animation clips and experimented with video art in different music videos and short films. Felipe Almendros’s art bridges urban realism, graphic narrative, and contemporary visual expression in a way that reflects both his roots in comics and his vibrant painterly practice. Born in Barcelona and raised in Badalona, he developed a distinctive visual language in which everyday characters, cityscapes, and fragments of urban life are rendered with a direct, hand-drawn sensibility that combines the immediacy of street imagery with thoughtful composition. Almendros’s paintings often portray figures and scenes drawn from the fringes of Barcelona’s urban rhythm, using bold lines, evocative colour and narrative suggestion to celebrate the poetry of the commonplace — whether it’s a commuter, a neighbourhood gathering, or the architectural textures of the city itself. His work reflects an instinctive blend of graphic storytelling and fine art, offering viewers a dynamic experience that feels both familiar and freshly observed, making his pieces particularly compelling in exhibition contexts that explore contemporary urban identity and visual culture.
