In 2019, he revealed his art to the world when he was invited to participate in a charity auction for the pope’s personal foundation – which promotes the importance of art in education – receiving critical acclaim and international commissions. Vilató’s imagination has no limits… and nor does his work. His appreciation of multiple design disciplines, born out of his upbringing and varied career, enables him to paint and design without any self-imposed barriers, creating unique pieces that tell their own story rather than reflecting a signature style. Vilató’s self-described ‘obsessions’ are his most powerful source of inspiration, encompassing subjects as diverse as death, African art, jazz music, 60s cars, Avant-Garde paintings and sculpture – many of which he was exposed to through his upbringing. For each work, he partakes in a highly self-destructive creative process, spending hours, days or even months exploring, revisiting and taking apart each obsession until he fully captures its essence. Paintings are vandalised. Old family photographs are defaced. His work is bold and intense, taking you straight to the heart of the subject, yet at the same time imbued with a lighthearted humorous, child-like quality – reflecting his belief that art should be free from snobbery. Vilató´s private collections can be found throughout Europe, Asia, Mexico, and the United States. Major exhibitions in Mexico, a new glass collection, magazine collaborations and partnerships with luxury brands are just a few of the projects in the pipeline for 2021.
