Cristina de Miguel
Cristina de Miguel is curious about our bodies in painting, how they physically express social interactions, liberation or anxieties. Body talk. Postures that communicate beyond shape. In de Miguel’s decentred paintings oil stick is often used to accentuate visual sentiments. Content and application of paint are interdependent in the works and one does not take precedence over the other. In this manner the paintings feel autonomous.
