Silkscreen and woodcut

Topographies of micro cities of dreams, maps to inhabit fantasy unfold joyfully in Miguel Vilarinho's silkscreens, guided by a geometry that is nothing more than the desire to establish order in the Chaos of current experiences. These small universes are created and vibrate under the sign of stability (represented by the chair) and the human, its privileged icon.

Miguel Villarino

Born in 1959 in the city of Zamora, Spain, this artist initially pursued a career in engineering and philosophy. However, they eventually decided to abandon these fields and dedicate themselves exclusively to painting. They received their formal artistic education at the School of Applied Arts and Artistic Crafts in Madrid. As a self-taught printmaker, the artist opened their own printmaking studio in 1984. In 1989, they established 'M más M Ediciones', and in 1990, they founded the printmaking and poetry magazine 'Estacion Central', as well as the center 'Cruce, Arte e pensamento'. Their talent and dedication to their craft were recognized through various awards and honors. In 2003, they received the Valdepeña City Prize and the Castilla la Mancha Prize. They were also honored with the Extraordinary Queen Sofia Prize in 2001, the 'Slovenija Umetnost Odprta za' Prize in Slovenia in 2000, and the Vila de Aranjuez Prize at the Alcorcón Biennial in 1999. In addition, they were awarded the Maria de Salamanca Printmaking Prize in 1996 and the Union Fenosa Prize at the Zamora Biennial. This artist's work is characterized by their unique approach to printmaking, which combines technical expertise with a strong conceptual foundation. Their pieces invite viewers to contemplate the intersection between art and philosophy, offering a thought-provoking experience. Through their art, they explore themes of identity, perception, and the human condition.
