The canvas is never blank in the eyes of the artist, it is the mirror of his thoughts.

- Edgar Plans



Edgar Plans was born in Madrid, Spain in 1977. He was encouraged to create by his father when he was a child, back then the streets and sidewalks are indeed his canvas and began his career in graffiti art. Ever since he has been influenced and inspired by graffiti, street art, comics, illustration and animation, his works are childlike, full of imagination and vitality. His creation is mostly childish, with young children dressed as superheroes as the protagonists, clearly is closely related to his father, Juan José Plans, being the famous sci-fi writer in Spain.

Among them, the best known "Animals Heroes" series has won the love of fans all over the world. The little heroes in this series of works have a pair of mouse ears, with big and round lovely eyes. They are playful, filled with innocence and cuteness. They no longer bear the responsibility of saving the world, but accompany the world and imagination of children. The universe, which is full of dreams, also reflects Plans's spirit in freedom-loving, never giving up and the chivalry in always ready to embark on a new adventure.



"Tribute to Graffiti Artists at Eighties" was created in 2019. It is visible that Plans applied acrylic pigments as if building up like a wall. The little heroes at the bottom left of the painting represent Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Al Diaz and Lee Quinones. They sit along together and surrounded with all kinds of cute graffiti elements, Basquiat's iconic crown motif, and the names of these four artists. Pigments and brushes are scattered in the center of the painting, and a lively and vivacious puppy is playing. On the top of the painting, there are classic elements of these 1980s’ artists, such as the well known iconography of Keith Haring "Radiant Baby", the symbol "SAMO" collaborated between Jean-Michel Basquiat and Al Diaz, also notations as "Street art" and "Subway" in subway art. On the top left of the painting, there is a pot of blooming flowers, also with big and round lovely eyes, symbolising the homage to these four top graffiti artists in the 1980s.
