About Manuel Miguel

His first strokes were made with a branch or the tip of a machete while contemplating the landscape.
of the Sierra Norte, in his native Teococuilco de Marcos Perez, a Zapotec community belonging to Ixtlan
de Juárez, Oaxaca.

From a very young age he was interested in learning to paint, having the good fortune to have learned from the masters of
the likes of Alejandro Santiago, Maximino Javier, Rosendo Pinacho, Emiliano López, Armando Guerrero, Amador Montes, among others.

The experience acquired with the master Alejandro Santiago undoubtedly enriched his innate talent for drawing and painting. Subsequently, he began his own quest to define the artistic language of his work.
we now know. An expression that reflects the convictions with which he has lived every day:
honest and genuine, creative and dynamic, fresh and joyful, unexpected and virtuous.

His artistic work has multiplied in various techniques (sculpture in metal, ceramics, wood, graphics, oil, acrylic, etc.) although the elements of his work always resort to his infinite inner imaginary, to that vertiginous fauna and flora.

However, it is worth mentioning that its search for a particular aesthetic expression has woven it with a constant presence in its environment, fostering cultural development in all its expressions by promoting interaction and involvement in the communities and the social fabric where it operates.
