Illustration

Drawing and illustration are the two foundations of Fito’s work. Little over a decade ago, he produced his first series of giclée prints. Today, his portfolio includes over a hundred illustrations, each one with its own particular symbolism.

His universe is composed of magical and emotional elements which are reflections on ideas and problems common to the human experience.

Painting

Fito Espinosa started painting in 1995. He works in medium and large formats, in acrylic on fabric or wood. His painting captures his artistic evolution and the various stages of production he has reached.

What interests me most is translating the emotional and mental spheres into understandable images and symbols, oriented towards the search and understanding of the world and ourselves.
—Fito Espinosa

Ceramic and porcelain

In ceramic and porcelain, Fito found a medium that gave volume to his universe. His pieces go between the classical and the contemporary, adapting to diverse environments and styles.
