Emilio Garcia is a Spanish sculptor and painter born in Tarragona in 1981. Raised between the coastal town of El Vendrell and the city of Barcelona, he graduated in graphic design from Escola d’Art i Disseny de Tarragona and cut his creative teeth in cartoon animation studios along the Catalan coast. In 2008 he abandoned digital media to craft tactile objects, founding Secret Lapo Laboratories as a studio where pop culture, designer toys and neuroscience could collide in bronze, resin and vivid colour.

His breakout work is the Jumping Brain, a frog like brain that vaults across walls and pedestals. Conceived as commentary on reckless ideas that leap over barriers, the piece earned first prize at the Plastic and Plush Toy Awards in 2008 and sold out in every colourway, propelling Garcia onto the international art circuit. He has since produced an extended family of cerebral characters: Skull Brain, Sponge Brain and Brain Heart merge grey matter with skeletons, household sponges and arterial blood, turning the organ of thought into a playful avatar for identity, emotion and mortality.

Garcia’s sculptures begin as hand-sculpted maquettes, are cast in bronze or resin, and are finished with automotive lacquers that make synapses shimmer like candy. Large scale versions have appeared at SCOPE Miami, Swab Barcelona and Art Fair Tokyo, while collaborations with Disney, Chanel and Mark Ryden place his work at the intersection of high fashion and street culture. Publications such as Juxtapoz and Clutter have chronicled his rise, and his pieces are held in collections ranging from the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Québec to private galleries across Asia, Europe and the Americas. By transforming the brain into a charismatic protagonist, Emilio Garcia invites viewers to celebrate the jump of an idea and to recognise that every thought, no matter how wild, carries the spark of a new world.
