Javier Echenique
Javier de Echenique-Vico was born in Madrid to a family of artists. He is the son of Maria Teresa Vico, painter and piano teacher, and Ángel de Echenique Ubide, one of the founding fathers of Radio and TV in Spain. His paternal grandfather, Angel de Echenique Pardo, was Secretary General at the Prado Museum. Javier had the privilege to grow up in a unique artistic environment, thus developing an eclectic and Mediterranean style.
His colorful creations have been published in countries like Spain, Chile, Argentina, and the US. His next upcoming exhibitions of paintings will be carried out in Colombia in Bogota and Cartagena, and in Miami during the last months of 2014 and early 2015.
A graduate in Advertising and Marketing, he later studied Design and Art History in Lisbon. A versatile entrepreneur, Javier owned several franchises and directed radio programs in Madrid. As Account Manager in Lisbon, among his clients we find Citibank, Blockbuster, Fiat, Lancia and Alfa Romeo. He also designed the office of the President at Ericsson Portugal and several outstanding residences in Cascais and Estoril close to the coast of Lisbon in Portugal.
Painting remains his grand passion. Javier has been quoted in the medias as saying:
“A natural born creator must know when to leave all things non-essential and dedicate his/her life to the pursuit of happiness; that golden bough is only to be found in the process of creation. Like squizofrenics do – godly angels capable of smelling colors – I intend to let my hands go and be inspired by the scent of the blue in their quest for meaning.”
