Miguel’s practice investigates the memory and psychology of trauma within queer and post-migrant communities. Often through the retelling and reenactment of personal experiences, he examines the complex relationship between individual subjectivity and broader socio-political structures. His work explores the condition of the self within postcolonial discourse, thoroughly influenced by the mainstream, and turns to images as a deconstructive tool for contemporary narratives. His interdisciplinary approach reflects a sustained engagement with participatory processes, emphasising collaborative methods and a critical understanding of the political complexities inherent in representation. His visual language is often layered, symbolic, and emotionally resonant, functioning as both a site of resistance and a space for healing.
Miguel holds a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Malaga and an M.A. in Art in Context from the Berlin University of the Arts, where he primarily focused on artistic work with social groups and the intersections of academic image theory. His work has been shown at the Goethe Institute Barcelona, the Berlin University of the Arts, the Loop Videoart Festival in Barcelona, Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, the Bilbao Exhibition Centre, and the Museo de Arte de la Diputación in Malaga.
