Talking with him today, you would never know that Episode 28's Okuda San Miguel came from a modest upbringing in northern Spain. Nor would you think him a pretentious modern-day master, though a master he certainly is. Yet his talent is as much about his business acumen as his artistic skill. He has struggled just like the rest, but he surrounded himself with a team of people who continue to support him today as he spreads his unique surrealistic vision around the world. From a graffiti artist who studied fine art, Okuda has created a style recognizable almost at first glance. For his recent solo exhibition at Mirus Gallery in Denver, Colorado Okuda explores the reality of human incursion on a modern day paradise with the surrealistic beings of his imagination.
Though his work can literally be found all over the planet, he has remained extremely humble and grateful of the gifts he has been able to share with the world.
