WITXITA WAR

WITXITA WAR is the creative universe of a digital artist, illustrator, graphic designer, and filmmaker based in Bermeo, in the heart of the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve (Bizkaia, Basque Country), and the author of the novels The Demon King of the Sixth Heaven and El último refugio de la Vía Láctea (The Last Refuge of the Milky Way).

For more than two decades he has worked in visual identity, poster design, editorial and album design, screen printing, large-format murals, and digital art. He is a saxophonist, the director and host of the radio station Itsuki Irratia, and the driving force behind the brand Kostako and the production company SHOWAK. His training in design, illustration, audiovisual production, music, and artificial intelligence has given him a hybrid profile, one that brings together artisanal craft, technology, and a storyteller's sensibility.

All that visual and sonic experience has led him to the novel. He comes to it with the eye of a creator used to building worlds: dense atmospheres, powerful characters, symbolic imagery, dramatic tension, mythology, history, violence, beauty, and destiny.

The Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, originally published in Spanish as El Rey Demonio del Sexto Cielo, is a dark-fantasy historical epic about power in the Japan of Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, where the sword is not merely a weapon but a symbol of the price of ambition.

El último refugio de la Vía Láctea (The Last Refuge of the Milky Way) leaps across genres and centuries: an illustrated novel that blends science fiction, archaeological mystery, and futuristic thriller, set in the year 2080 on an Earth that no longer awaits the end of the world because it is already living inside it. When an anomaly synchronizes Venus, Sirius, and the Milky Way with ancient archaeological sites—Rapa Nui, Palenque, Malta, White Sands, Derinkuyu—Dr. Alison MacNali, who believes only in data, must discover whether humanity has found a threat, a tomb, or its last refuge.

His prose is intensely visual: it combines the precision of the illustrator, the rhythm of the musician, and the cinematic eye of the filmmaker. Every scene is designed to be seen, heard, and inhabited.

As an author, WITXITA WAR does not set aside his other creative identities: he brings them together. For him, creating is not about repeating a form, but about daring to change tools without losing his own voice.
