Javier Mariscal is a designer and artist. He is also the father of Cobi, the mascot of the Olympic Games for the Barcelona'92.
National Design Award (1999), humour, innocence and poetry are in his particular view of the world.
The mascot of the Olympic Games was always thought of as a character that could be any of us.
“Cobi was very cute, affectionate and accomplished. He was not a super athlete and would never be number 1, but he ate bread with tomato, beer, olives… in a wonderful enviroment.”
