Santander, Spain, 1964
Miguel Macaya is an extraordinary artist who surprises the spectator because he uses a traditional technique to make very contemporary works that leave no one indifferent. From its black backgrounds burst the figures almost as if they were sculptures or 3D images, sideways glances or profiles, a flash of brightness or color.
The protagonists of their works stare as if they had been surprised by someone who observes them.
Miguel Macaya paints single men and single animals where he portrays his anonymity through the emphasis of the look or the strength of his profile.
