Biography
Mateo Miró
Born in 1999 in Seville. Lives and works between Seville and Paris.
Trained in communication in Paris and then in fine arts in Seville, Mateo Miró builds a painting of colour fields, in which the horizon, the light of a beach or a sky are reduced to a few bands and passages of matter.
His work starts from a simple idea: colour acts before form. He even named one of his series after the calcarine sulcus, the area of the brain that receives it first.
In 2025 he opened a space in Seville that brings together his studio and his gallery, inaugurated with the exhibition Nuances.
Text written from the sources — to be reviewed by the artist
« El arte no solo se ve, sino que también se vive y se siente de forma distinta para cada persona. »
Art is not only seen: it is lived and felt, differently by each person.
