Miki Leal
Seville, Spain, 1974.
Graduated in Fine Arts by the University of Seville, he lives and works between Madrid and Seville.
With a rich and complex iconography in which references to literature, music and cinema are a constant, his combination leads us to submerge ourselves in our own memories, in our deepest experiences and, perhaps because they are so deep, not conscious.

He has won important awards such as the BMW Painting Prize (2016) or the Martínez Guerricabeitia Biennial (2014) and his works are part of collections such as MNCARS (Madrid), CAAC (Seville), Artium Centro-Museo Vasco de Arte Contemporáneo (Vitoria), Patio Herreriano (Valladolid) or Hangar 7 in Salzburg (Austria), among many other
