Edgar Plans

Edgar Plans is a contemporary Spanish artist best known for his vibrant, childlike characters known as the “Lil Heroes.” Born in Madrid in 1977 and raised in Asturias, Plans merges street art aesthetics with expressive figurative painting to explore themes such as heroism, identity, and social justice. His whimsical, wide-eyed figures often wear capes and masks, referencing childhood dreams of being superheroes, while addressing real-world issues like environmentalism, gender equality, and racial justice.

Plans’ work is distinguished by a dynamic, graffiti-inspired style—loose brushwork, vivid colors, and handwritten phrases populate his canvases, giving them the feel of an urban diary. Though playful on the surface, his paintings often carry deeper meaning, reflecting a blend of innocence and urgency. Over the past decade, he has gained international recognition, exhibiting widely across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, and earning a growing collector base for his accessible yet thought-provoking visual language.
