Miguel Plà

Born in Zafra, Spain, in 1961, I soon moved to Madrid, where I began my professional career as a photographer, graphic editor and illustrator for various publications and companies. I taught photography classes at the Centro Universitario de Artes TAI and in the late 1990s I opened my own studio.

Over the last several years I have explored the potential of artistic recreation by experimenting with architectural and plant forms, which in my images seem to be in movement and achieve a new style of expression and chromatic intensity. My work shows a degree of complexity that transcends ordinary mere digital manipulation by applying pictorial techniques to photographs. My sources of inspiration —both plastic and literary— include the imaginaries and pictorial techniques of Informalism, Abstract Expressionism and Materic or Material Painting.

Photographic paintings
In this series of paintings on paper made with mixed techniques: such as acrylic paint, pigments and Chinese ink. I use collage and digital photography to create a new work.
