Children dreamed of being astronauts, doctors or firefighters I only thought of crayons. Surely it would be because my father earned his living by painting and sculpting all kinds of materials. I didn't grow up in a museum, but almost. Teenage rebellion took me away from the crayons and the House-Museum. Not knowing why I ended up in a lab, wearing a white coat, and thinking what I had done to deserve this. After the time I returned to the House-museum. My father was still there. With more years, more paintings and Emperrado to dominate an old artistic technique that gave Warhol such good results: serigraphy. A way to stamp drawings on any surface, fast and effective. That's when I saw it clear. I could finally show the world my designs. How? Well, Estampándolos in T-shirts. What would have happened to Warhol's cows if they hadn't left the Museum of Modern art new York in the form of a T-shirt, mug, umbrella or go to know what. My drawings had to jump off the paper. A couple of basic courses of graphic design I was enough to improve, with my computer, the drawings that since childhood had been doing. The next step was to see the reaction of the people to see my creations. With some caution I was showing friends, acquaintances, friends of acquaintances, acquaintances of acquaintances... and even if I widened the circle I always ended up hearing the same thing: what cool t-shirts! The T-shirt business failed; Always say that of the mistakes you learn, so past the time with the maturity of the age I decided to hang that lab coat that for thirteen years accompanied me helping to lead a life, leave my Hometown (Valencia) and start a new life in M Adrid. A life full of challenges and difficulties, but playing my parked vocation. To expand my knowledge during an intensive year, make a master of communication and strategic design and delve into some design programs. With a stronger knowledge base and a mastery of the tools needed for design is now when I look ready to create my own brand Xoan Viqueira and employ my name with total conviction. Therefore, in this Web Store you will find things designed, studied and treated with great care, affection and many hours of dedication. I hope you enjoy my designs as much as I enjoy creating.
