Miguel Vivo

Miguel Vivo is a Spanish contemporary realist painter based in Murcia, Spain. Holding a Fine Arts degree with a specialization in Painting, he has developed an artistic career spanning more than three decades through exhibitions, art fairs, galleries, and public and private collections in Spain and abroad.

His work focuses on urban landscapes, architecture, figurative subjects, and the visual memory of contemporary life. Through a refined palette and strong technical foundations, he explores the relationship between reality, atmosphere, and human presence.
