Visual artist and designer based in northern Spain, from where he runs his artistic studio "Flaco Studio" open since 2019. His career already counts more than 150 projects commissioned from different parts of the world, having among his clients giants such as Mozilla Firefox, Bershka, Vogue Japan, ComputerArts Magazine, Dialogica, Pull&Bear, Meyba Barcelona, Nike, Volcom, BMW, CreativeDaKorea, OXYDO Eyewear, La Rinascente and Samsung among others. And his works have already been exhibited in Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, London and Seoul.
His plastic vocabulary is dominated by simple and geometric shapes that highlight the strong and bright colors he uses. His identity fits very well with the creative projects he is involved in, taking care of the message and critical thinking in each of them.
And it is that his particular and personal style focused on sarcasm framed by the use of pure colors, has been the best tool to convey social and political messages such as the war in Syria or the Black Live Matters riots. Oggian has great versatility when it comes to creating new messages by resorting to the minimalist use of elements, his maxim is less is more.
The artist's rich imaginary has been nourished by his different experiences in different parts of the world. He has lived in Venice, Berlin, Los Angeles, South America and Spain, drawing from each stay experiences that allow him to continue creating. Parrots, flags, eyes and mysterious vases form the basis of his universe, being a tribute to diversity and different cultures. But it is not only the lived experience that is responsible for his personal artistic character, but also renowned art figures such as Keith Haring or Jim Houser have left their mark on his style, which is reminiscent of pop art, street art and neo-expressionism.
