Lives and works in Mexico City. He began painting at the age of 12, which led him to work with ease when he began painting in a workshop at the age of 15. His formation as a painter is the result of a continuous exploration of the great masters through the reproduction of works for the decorative art market. This situation led him to seek out a focus different from traditional media when he studied for his Bachelor’s degree at the Escuela Nacional de Escultura, Pintura y Grabado La Esmeralda. There he devoted himself to studying conceptualism, action art, video art, installation, and sculpture, among other tendencies and disciplines. In 2004 he began his career in the visual arts with the project “Gordo,” a series of actions recorded on video in which five characters demonstrated the clichés and stereotypes about obese people in the mass media.

Cosmo Epiphany is the second in a series of multimedia installations created by Javier Pulido MonsterTruck!!! Since 2011 under the rubric of the project “Eat Diviness.” With this installation, video and collection of two-dimensional pieces, Pulido explores the individual’s conflicts of identity and belonging by way of a narrative that confuses reality with fiction. At the same time, he satirizes contemporary culture and the elaborate rituals of media indoctrination that in many ways determine the pretentious, obsessive and consumerist behaviours prevalent in society today.
