Welcome to the World of El Mago Libre: Art, Authenticity, and the Beauty of Imperfection
Step into the vibrant, raw, and deeply human world of El Mago Libre, an artist whose work is as much about breaking molds as it is about making them. From dreamy beginnings to a studio in Spain, El Mago Libre invites us into a universe where art is not polished perfection but unapologetic truth.
Art as Liberation
For El Mago Libre, the definition of art isn’t static—it evolves.
"To me, art is the process of letting go. Letting go of expectations, masks, molds—everything we’re told we’re supposed to be."
It’s not about painting within the lines or choosing the perfect color scheme. It’s about releasing control, trusting whatever comes through, and allowing even the imperfect pieces to simply be. Art, in its essence, is freedom.
A Life Fueled by Creativity
Art isn’t just something he does—it’s the heartbeat of their daily life. Whether it’s pouring paint, making molds, or writing music, creativity is a constant force.
"It’s what keeps me moving. It’s really the only thing I feel truly good at."
The Dreamer Who Became the Artist
Though always a dreamer, His artistic journey truly found shape after moving to Spain and launching a studio. The traditional paths never quite fit.
"I always knew I didn’t belong in ‘normal’ spaces. But once I started making music and then visual art, it wasn’t something I became—it was just what I was."
A Ritual of Expansion
El Mago Libre shares a unique relationship with cannabis—used not as escape, but as a sacred tool for expansion and connection to creativity.
"I intentionally use that space to open my mind and create. Once I’ve done the practical stuff for the day, I light up, and then… who knows what’ll happen? That’s the fun."
No Block, Just Flow
Unlike songwriting, where creative block can sneak in, visual art flows freely for El Mago Libre. The secret?
"I don’t give myself the option to be blocked. If I don’t know what to paint, I just start painting."
Art becomes an act of surrender, not perfection.
A Style That Refuses Labels
He resists being boxed into a single style. Having spent years alone, immersed in museums and the quiet of observation, they’ve grown to love—and experiment with—many forms of expression.
"No one ever told me I couldn’t, so I never felt like I had to choose just one way."
That freedom carries into their own work, which borrows from many inspirations but always stays uniquely their own.
The Power and Presence of Women
Women are the central figures in his sculptures and paintings. The choice is both personal and political.
"I’ve been surrounded by amazing women my whole life. And I’ve heard them criticize themselves over and over—about their bodies, their looks."
Through their art, El Mago Libre celebrates women in all their forms—raw, real, and unapologetic.
"To me, there’s nothing more beautiful than a woman who is comfortable in her own skin. I want the world to see what I see."
Touch, Connection, and Radical Acceptance
His art invites more than just observation—it invites touch. It demands presence.
"You’re allowed to touch it. You should touch it. It’s a body. It’s human. We need to touch each other more. Love each other more."
The goal is to create familiarity, not fear, around the human form. To make people say, “Hey, that looks like me,” or recognize someone they love. In a world that’s increasingly disconnected, this tactile invitation is quietly revolutionary.
Art as a Counter to Extremism
While El Mago Libre doesn't claim their art will change society, they believe in art’s power to resist fear and censorship.
"We’re living in dangerous times. When extremism rises, art is often the first thing under attack. But art can be a weapon—against shame, against fear, against silence."
By making art that is touchable, visible, and real, he is pushing back against those forces—one imperfect, beautiful body at a time.
The Road Ahead
With a new website and official business status in Spain, El Mago Libre is ready for the next chapter.
"Now I’m surrounded by an amazing team, and we’re figuring out how to bring this to the world. To every corner of it."
The journey continues—guided by dreams, shaped by freedom, and grounded in an unwavering love for truth, art, and the human form.
