Born in Madrid in 1974 and trained in industrial design, Jaime Hayon's creative talents know no bounds. Seamlessly transitioning between furniture and design objects, interior design, installations, sculptures and paintings, he crafts a narrative universe that is uniquely his own.
Hayon's work embodies his distinct perspective on the world — a whimsical yet insightful exploration of the human psyche. His deep-seated connection to art in every facet of his life is embodied in his zoomorphic, colourful, and folkloric pieces. Hayon offers a captivating glimpse into his imaginative realm. Like a 21st-century archaeologist, he examines and excavates recurrent themes of diversity, metamorphosis, and hybridisation to create a visual language that is accessible, intriguing, and instantly identifiable as Hayon. His relationship with materials, notably marble, stone, glass, wood and ceramics, is integral to this language, taking a visceral and intuitive approach to colour and technique.
With a career spanning over 25 years, Hayon has continuously refined his aesthetic across diverse disciplines, with his body of work standing as a testament to his unwavering curiosity and commitment to artistic evolution and innovation.
