Miguel Watio - To the Master's Beat
Biography of the Artist: Miguel Watio (Seville, 1966) is a self-taught artist living in Gijón since 2004. From a very young age he showed artistic interests. Although he made several exhibitions in cultural centers in Seville, there he always worked as an electrician (hence the name Watio) and it was not until 2011 when he made his first solo exhibition in an art gallery. It was in Gijón, in the Cornión Gallery with which he continued to work until its closure in 2022. In that first exhibition he surprised with a mixture 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 made his next exhibition: "Clásicos Populares" 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". From 2015 after the death of his sister, his characters are transformed into black silhouettes of walkers wandering through an abstract-geometric world. This new stage lasts until 2020 and the two exhibitions that he will hold 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 their original pop within his landscapes of geometric abstraction.
Miguel Watio is a painter from Seville who has lived in Gijón (Asturias) since 2004. He has an extensive exhibition career in northern Spain and with a style close to Pop Art uses irony to give his works a touch of social criticism. "In my painting I mix abstract geometry with figuration, by adding to the work a silhouette of a walker". Miguel Watio
