Picasso claimed that learning to paint like the Renaissance artists took him only a few years, while painting like children took him a lifetime. The background of this mythical phrase of the painter from Malaga could well be applied to the singular vision that Edgar Plans imprints on his plastic universe: revealing himself in the face of the annihilation of the spirit of childhood, the artist from Gijón has decided, as Picasso said, to do the most difficult thing: to paint with the same freedom of a child.
In the words of the artist himself, "Even as a very young child I have engraved in my memory the cocking of the keys of my father's typewriter (Juan José Plans, 1943-2014). In his studio he had a low table with four seats, and around it, while he was writing, I remember drawing with my brothers". His academic training began at the age of 15 when he started studying at the studio of the artist José María Ramos. Two years later, Plans, he opened his own studio, which had in turn been the studio of the artist Nicanor Piñole. Throughout his career he has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions, including Art Notes 019, Ainori Gallery, Lisbon, Wall Art Notes, Galería Miquel Alzueta, Barcelona, ArtWynwood.
