Miguel Angel Biazzi

Miguel Angel Biazzi is a contemporary Argentine painter, sculptor, installation and sketch artist born in the province of Córdoba, Argentina. He spent 20 years in Salta, a city in northwestern Argentina, and currently has a studio located in the neighborhood of San Telmo, Buenos Aires. Biazzi is a Latin American artist indebted to the use of earthy colors and mythical images of Native America to represent his recurring theme of “other with integrity.” ^[1]

Art

Throughout his career Biazzi has created works that appear to recover ideas and feelings which seem to be frozen in the past.^[2] As described by Portuguese anthropologist Nuno Branco, "He (Biazzi) goes further. He lets his mind wander through a number of variations…He is a Guaraní, he is a Tehuelche, he becomes a Mataco. No doubt his art is a process of becoming. The way he has found of becoming someone else, of generously forgetting about himself. The art of invocation: to invoke, to enchant, to seduce, to laugh together, united by an element of softness, are verbs featuring in his grammar and imagery, only deceptively naïve."^[1] Having crossed paths with Jorge Luis Borges, acclaimed Argentine writer, essayist, and poet, one can see clear influences in Biazzi’s work of an attempt to elevate quotidian life to a much deserved, yet mostly ignored, prominent hierarchical status.
