Born in Spain in 1961, Mayoral is a contemporary painter whose life and art have been shaped by a global journey. From New York to Phoenix, San Francisco, and Miami, his travels exposed him to diverse cultures and perspectives before he settled in Miami, where he now lives with his wife and three children.
In Miami, Mayoral discovered a dual passion: painting and the culinary arts. While building a career as a self-taught chef, he began creating small acrylic works on wood, developing a style marked by bold strokes and provocative themes. Over time, his artistic practice took precedence, and he transitioned fully into life as a painter - a decision that led to international recognition.
His works have been exhibited in major cultural centers across Europe and the United States, from the historic streets of Paris to the dynamic stage of Art Basel Miami Beach. Publications in Germany and beyond have spotlighted his fearless approach, which challenges conventions and sparks dialogue around taboo and complex subjects.
With every brushstroke, Mayoral explores the depths of human emotion, cultural identity, and social critique. His paintings transcend geography, inviting viewers into a conversation that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. Today, his practice stands as a testament to the transformative power of creativity and the boundless reach of contemporary art.
