Dolores Valenza | Rocío Heredia

Interview with the fine artist Miguel Angel Avila conducted by Rocio Heredia. Miguel Angel said: “The paintings radiate color. That is what I consider the best representation of energy and life. Color that you may find within my body of work in landscapes, visions, inhabitants and real, recognizable objects implanted into somewhat unusual contexts... My art is done with a figurative style, making use of draftsmanship skills, to create textures and details that increase along the development of the piece. Extending to the point where there cannot be a single brushstroke out of place. My art asks the viewer to come closer, look further, and peer with diligence…for when the viewer is challenged…the paintings begin to reveal their “story”; and in the process…discloses the vulnerability of the subject matter; by means of light, color, shadow, voids, solids, and intricate layering of paint”
