Xavier Mascaro is a Spanish and Latin American sculptor and painter who uses a wide range of materials such as iron, bronze, aluminum, ceramic, resin, glass and papier-mâché to create his works, inspired by archeology and art history.

​

Archetypes -the recurring human roles and stories in our collective imaginary- constantly emerge in his work­­­, such as in his ‘Exodus’ in which a fleet of boats evokes human migrations, myths, and more generally the passing of time.

 

 In recent years his large sculptural groups have been shown in public spaces such as The Palais Royal in Paris, The Saatchi Gallery in London, The Giza Plateau in Egypt, Warehouse 421 in Abu Dhabi, The Convent of Santo Domingo in Cartagena de Indias (Colombia), The Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Paseo de Recoletos and Paseo del Prado in Madrid, Mexico City center’s Plaza del Seminario and Museo del Templo Mayor, Instituto Cultural Cabañas in Guadalajara (Mexico), and Havana’s Malecon (in the context of the Havana Biennial) .

Throughout his career he has had studios in Barcelona, ​​Madrid, New York, London,  Los Angeles, Rome, Mexico City and Chapala (Mexico).

​

He currently lives in Mexico City.
