Jesús Azuaga is arguably one of the most charismatics artists of Málaga as well as one of the youngest ones. He started drawing when he was a child and later studied at the San Telmo School of Art in Málaga.

Most of the time, his works can instantly be recognized.

Interestingly, Azuaga – who also goes by the pseudonym Le petit Kaiser – refers to street art wunderkind Jean Michel Basquiat as his inspiration. But also other painters like Javier Calleja from Málaga and Madrileño Suso33, as well as photographers and musicians float his boat. 

Although Jesús Azuaga aka Le Petit Kaiser was not commissioned for the MAUS project, you’ll find some of his pieces decorating Soho’s walls. He is active at the independent contemporary art center La Casa Amarilla and can actually live from his art.
