Artwork location: Spain

In "Imbalances," I present a series of paintings that explore the theme of imbalance. The geometric figures that appear in my works are slightly rotated, creating a sense of instability. The vivid and vibrant colors I use intensify this feeling, creating a world of energy and movement.

Imbalance is a theme that has long interested me. I believe it is an inevitable part of life, both in the physical world and in the inner world. The physical world is constantly changing, and this can generate a sense of uncertainty and anxiety. The inner world is also constantly changing, and this can lead to feelings of insecurity and fear.

In my paintings, imbalance represents the uncertainty and change of the modern world. It also represents the human condition, which is constantly evolving. Loneliness, which also appears in my work, is a consequence of this imbalance. When we feel lost or disoriented, we may isolate ourselves from others.

Miguel Watio, Recuerdos de un extraño futuro
Spain  • 1966

Presentation

Miguel Watio is a self-taught artist living in Gijón since 2004. From a very young age he showed artistic interests. Although he held several exhibitions in cultural centers in Seville, there he always worked as an electrician (that's where Wattio comes from) and it was not until 2011 when he held his first individual exhibition in an art gallery. It was in Gijón, at the Cornión Gallery with which he continued working until its closure in 2022.

In that first exhibition he surprised with a mix of surrealism-pop where a series of characters walking under the window of his house coexisted with everyday objects. He called this series precisely “From my window."

In 2014 he held his next exhibition: “Popular Classics" where, continuing with his characteristic pop style, he made a humorous review of the history of art. From this date he began to make geometric compositions where pop characters coexist within a geometric “landscape."

Starting in 2015 after the death of his sister, his characters transform into black silhouettes of walkers who wander through an abstract-geometric world. This new stage lasts until 2020 and the two exhibitions held at the Cornión gallery in Gijón in 2017 and 2022 have very significant titles: “De Paso" (2017) and “Camín a Niundes" (2020).

Currently Miguel Watio has begun a new stage where his characters seem to have come back to life with his original pop within his landscapes of geometric abstraction.
