BIO

Cristina de Miguel (b. 1987, Seville, Spain) is based in Brooklyn, NY. She received a BA in Fine Arts from the University of Seville (Spain,2010), and an MA in Fine Arts from Pratt Institute, New York (2012).

Her approach to painting is emotional, thinking in formal terms but balancing it out with a let-go attitude. De Miguel insists on the materiality of the painting by fragmenting the figure, so the figure is not the central point of the painting but the act of painting in itself.

The iconography in her work alludes to action, velocity and the possibilities of the body -bodies that melt physically, in the same way paint drips and melts too. De Miguel’s diverse range of interests and influences is both eclectic and unexpected; she draws equally from Baroque painting and the banalities of daily life and intimacy.

Recent solo exhibitions include ‘Paintings of Through and Fell’, Allouche Benias Gallery, (Athens, 2021); ‘Life in its Poetic Form’, Fredericks & Freiser Gallery, (New York, 2020). Group exhibitions include Van de Weghe Gallery, East Hampton, New York (2021); Sim Smith Gallery, London (2020); Fredericks & Freiser, New York (2020); Herrero de Tejada, Madrid (2019).
