Okuda San Miguel is a Spanish painter, sculptor, and designer. Specializing in urban art, he creates large-scale works featuring figures fragmented into geometric shapes and bold polychromatic colors. Born in the Cantabrian city of Santander, he settled in Madrid in 2000. He studied Fine Arts at the Complutense University, graduating in 2007. Alongside his street art, he also began producing works in his studio, through which he evolved toward a more personal style starting in 2009. In 2016, he began creating 3D works, primarily large-scale sculptures, in addition to urban art pieces, paintings, sculptures, tapestries, photography, and everyday objects. Since 2011, he has held solo and group exhibitions in various countries around the world, including Spain, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, Peru, and Mexico. Notable among these are the exhibition *The Dream of Mona Lisa* in Paris in 2017, the exhibition *Palace of the Holy Animals* in Santander in 2017, and the exhibition *The Multicolored Equilibrium Between Animals and Humans*, featuring a wide selection of his work, at the Centre del Carme in Valencia in 2018. On December 23, 2018, he was honored with a star on the Tetuán Walk of Fame in his hometown.
