Joan Aguiló’s journey into art began in early childhood. His mother, an art teacher, recalls how Joan would wake her early on weekends to craft and paint. She later enrolled him in an art course. As a young adult, Aguiló went to Barcelona to study Fine Arts, completing his studies in Mexico.

Before he started creating public art, Aguiló painted in a studio in Mallorca. During a stay in Berlin, he encountered urban art. "There I saw that there were different ways of engaging with art, for example by collaborating with other artists on walls and buildings. I hadn’t experienced that before, and it opened up a whole new field of experimentation that excited me." Upon returning to Mallorca, Aguiló decided to develop in this direction while remaining true to his Mallorcan motifs.

"I feel that I have always had this drive towards creativity."

At the heart of all his projects is one principle: authenticity. "Every artist should be aware of who they are, what they want to show, and how to express that artistically. The cultural life in Mallorca is spectacular in every respect. At the moment, there are an incredible number of artists, writers, musicians, painters, sculptors, and audio-visual professionals here, all working at the highest international level."
