Miguel Fernandez is known for his vibrant and symbolic depictions of urban landscapes. Within his paintings, Fernandez utilizes varied and emotional pallets and believes that colors, like people, change and depend on those around them. At the same time, Fernandez captures this intensity and sensibility in an organized way. The resulting compositions find an intriguing balance between rationality and emotion, fusing the chaos and rigor of the modern day cityscape in a unique and beautiful way. His compositions are brought to life solely by color choice, light and shadows, and his precisionist composition, resulting in a simplified yet powerfully idealized image.

Miguel was born in 1971 and he lives and works in Barcelona, Spain.

Biography
Miguel Angel Iglesias Fernandez creates idealized urban landscapes, laying paths for the viewer to be immersed in a multicoloured sensory experience in an austere city void of figurative elements. Shadows, light and an exceptional colour palette are the only elements that bring the landscapes alive.
In an increasingly globalised world, Miguel Angel’s cities lack any hint for local identification and they could be seen as a window into an almost perfect urban parallel reality.
An optimist at heart, his sculptural paintings give us a view from above, a view that removes the traps or obstacles that arise from the minutia, from the small problems that create conflict amongst us.
In such way, Miguel Angel steers us in the path of a more hopeful future.
Born in Paris, France, to Spanish immigrants, Miguel Angel moved to Barcelona to study painting. After his studies, he relocated to New York, where the work of abstract expressionism, in particular that of Mondrian and Rothko, had a strong influence on his work.
Miguel Angel returned to Spain where he currently still lives and works.
His trademark cityscapes have been exhibited in Europe, Asia and the USA
He has participated in numerous top international art fairs a.o. in New York, Miami, London, The Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Taiwan, Korea, China and New Delhi.
His works are part of important collections in Spain, including Coleccion Testimonis, Fundacion La Caixa, Fundacion Fran Daurer, Fundacion Vila Casas and Fundacion Francisco Godia.
