Miguel’s works investigate the memory and psychology of trauma within queer and post-migrant communities. Often through the retelling and reenactment of personal events, his work examines the complex relationship between individual subjectivity and broader socio-political structures. His work explores the condition of self within a 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 practices, 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 BFA from the University of Malaga and a Master of Arts from the Berlin University of the Arts, where he primarily focused on artistic work within social groups, media and image production. 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.
