Born in Madrid, Spain in 1977, Plans always having a beard, he is now a husband and father who actively participates in social media and art communities. His artworks are often characterized by bold, dynamic outlines that express childlike wonders and subtle humors. A closer look at the fine styles and colors reveals profound implications that are deeply appealing to new-generation collectors. Over the past two to three years, Plans quickly became a key investment target for urban collectors. Half selftaught and half formally-trained, Plans came from a simple, straightforward background in the creative industry. According to his estimation, he has set off on this creative journey for at least forty years.

Beyond national boundaries, Plans' works have been collected by various public institutions around the world, such as the Havana Museum of Contemporary Art (Museo de Arte Contempor?neo de la Habana, Cuba), the Fine Arts Museum of Asturias (Museo de Bellas Artes de Asturias), Pinacoteca Eduardo ?rculo Municipal Art Gallery, the General Junta of the Principality of Asturias (Junta General del Principado de Asturias), the Art and Industrial Creation Centre (LABoral Centro de Arte y Creaci?n Industrial), the La Caixa Foundation of Barcelona (Fundaci?n La Caixa), and the Mar?a Cristina Masaveu Peterson Foundation (Fundaci?n Cristina Peterson) in Madrid.

As a "big kid" and artist, Edgar Plans believes that "childhood should never end because we should keep pursuing our dreams like a child." (La infancia nunca se debe acabar, siempre temenos que seguir so?ando como aquellos ni?os que quieren ser alguien especial). For as long as Plans could remember, he had doodled on walls in creative ways without anyone telling him what to draw or not. Painting is a boundless and joyful talent that should be admired and supported by the family.

The Plans brothers grew up around their father Juan Jos? Plans (1943-2014), a very talented man who wore the hats of a broadcasting host, reporter, director, and science fiction writer. Whenever their father worked at a low 4-seater table, the Plans brothers would sit beside him and doodle unrestrainedly as the clickety-clack of the typewriter echoed in the atmosphere. The boys were unconsciously influenced by their knowledgeable father's magical stories of fantasy, wackiness, suspense, delight, and horror. Plans often incorporates simple yet powerful text symbols in his paintings, which are not only inspirations from the street graffiti culture, but also a tribute to his father for supporting his creative dreams. The all-encompassing support from his father was a source of emotional attachment and everlasting childhood memories that Plans went on to express in his works.

Having grown up in Southern Europe, Plans' paintings deliver a natural sense of warmth through themes based on his life experiences and issues he cares about. He has an admiration for street art including graffiti, comics, illustrations, as well as animation movies. His artworks have been critically influenced by the urban contemporary character styles in these works. He also learns by observing the styles of masters like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Takashi Murakami, and mixing in a blend of his own unique characteristics. Plans like to apply white or colored outlines to urban landscapes and country views on a gray background to form a chalk-like scribbly texture. Around 2009, Plans created "Animal Hero", a character with Mickey Mouse-like ears and big eyes in a helmet and cape. The stylish elements from comics and movies have made this figure one of the artist's most iconic signatures. By telling interesting little stories as a superhero or in the disguise of a pilot, veterinarian, architect, soccer player, chef, cyclist, or painter, this character makes an appeal about politics and current events.

Plans likes to convey positive thinking through art. Other than using heroes as a symbol of power, he is also very passionate about "dreams." He repeatedly emphasizes the importance of dreams to everyone. Like he said, "Dreams can only be achieved through hard work. Never stop dreaming because it is the essence of life."Over the past couple of years, Plans' artworks have swirled through the urban art collectors' community alongside other Spanish artists like Javier Calleja and Rafa Macarr?n. The adorable and healing styles are very appealing to new- generation collectors as the bidding prices continue to rise. The art market is a place for dream makers. Never stop dreaming.
