Miguel Escobar
Barcelona, 1962
Miguel Escobar graduated in Philology and Fine Arts at the Massana School of Art and Design in Barcelona. He is an artist who expresses himself through various disciplines, has worked in advertising, has published poetry and children’s stories and has exhibited work in various disciplines such as installation, sculpture, painting, video and photography.
His work currently forms part of a single project that he has entitled SEDIERTO (a word-game playing with the Spanish words “sed” or thirst and “desierto” or desert). The project is centered on his concern for the mismanagement of water and the consequent desertification. For him “SEDIERTO is the silent cry that expresses the thirst of the planet”.
He conceives creation as a public good. He creates with the commitment to establish new links with nature. He has held solo and group exhibitions, creative recycling and poetry workshops.
