Miguel Angel Avila
Houston, TX
Artist's Website
Artist's Statement:
Layering his work with references to culture, art, and the self, Avila offers us works that at first appear direct and simple. But if one pays attention to them, it is clear how the artist describes an ideal world. And at the same time the real one as well, both of them complex and vibrant.
These paintings are strange landscapes that affect and connect with interior spaces. That is the place where the scenes evolve, using color, light and very diverse inhabitants. That eventually seems to portray either a peaceful sweet dream or a nightmare where the canvas is overcome by a loneliness feeling.
