Miguel Ángel Madrigal challenges expectation and perception of familiar objects, shapes, and figures. Evoking tender moments of belonging, feeling lost, excitement for new beginnings, and playful connection, he offers the viewer a renewed relationship with their own past, present, and future. He combines life-like sculpture with unexpected found objects to give new meaning to each, exploring balance, illusion, and texture. With the precision of an architect and the soul of an artist, Madrigal develops his own worlds full of wonder and connection.
