FABIO MIGUEZ

In the 2000s, Miguez started to develop three-dimensional works, such as the installations Onde (2006), Valises (2007), and Ping‑pong (2008), which expands his line of research and his medium of choice: painting. His degree in architecture brings to his work a constructivist influence that dialogues with concerns regarding scale, material, and figuration. The artist often deals with modular forms in relation to combinatory logic, employing repetitions and operations of inversion and mirroring. In his work, every painting is a fragment of the real in the way that each one reaffirms its material condition.

Fábio Miguez was born in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1962, where he lives and works.
