About

I am an artist and photographer originally from Valencia, Spain, but now based in Croydon. Before I became an artist I was a Physicist. The career change has been interesting to say the least.

After I started drawing and painting on my own I enrolled on an Art and Design Foundation course at City College Brighton and Hove. I then completed a Portraiture diploma at the Heatherley School of Fine Art in London where I learnt about traditional figurative painting.

Even though I still work in a figurative way my interests as an artist are very diverse and I am increasingly feeling the pull of abstraction. I often feel drawn towards different techniques and approaches and I find that developing more than one line of work at the same time refreshes me and adds depth to my practice.

I am currently a studio holder at Turf Projects in Croydon.

The City XXXIII

Oil paint, impasto medium and marble dust on on canvas board, 43×33 cm (framed). The small abstracts in my The City series often start out as improvisations with paint left over from working on larger pieces, loosely inspired by the reference of the cityscape and the urban environment. In these pieces, I often mix the oil paint with impasto medium and marble dust to create strong textural effects. Check out this piece along with much more of my work available for purchase on my online store, https://www.miguelsopenaarts.com/shop/.
