José Villavicencio Anaya, known by his artistic name Jovian, was born in Mexico City in 1965, where he studied International Relations at the Universidad Iberoamericana. His artistic interests led him to join the field of art, first as a manager and gallerist.
In the middle of the last decade, he started off on a new facet as an artist, venturing into painting, sculpting and object creation. Although he is self-taught, he has sought to set the foundations for his vocation by being part of various workshops.
His artistic work is known for his mixing of multiple techniques and materials within a sculpture. His themes reflect the capacity for transformation and abstraction, through which he addresses current issues and social interests, with powerful and lively creations that put him in the vanguard of Mexican artistic postmodernity.
Currently, his work is part of private and public art collections such as the Museo de la Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público, Museo de la Ciudad de Mérida, Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí, Museo Metropolitano de Monterrey and Museo Fernando García Ponce, MACAY. He has been part of the “Pago en especie” Program since 2017.
