MMPuhinger Hyperrealism
Marcos Míguez Puhinger (Redondela, Pontevedra, Spain 1977).
Self-taught artist, painter, muralist and draftsman.
Since he was little he showed concerns about drawing and painting, deciding seven years ago and encouraged by his surroundings, to leave his job in an automotive factory to dedicate himself fully to his passion.
Versatile artist who cultivates and handles various painting techniques: watercolor, acrylic, charcoal, but what has really made him known are his works made with Bic pens.
We could not be more proud to have him in our project.
Work "Fish Memory" (made with Bic pens).
Carefully composed and detailed works that make you doubt if you are looking at a photograph or a painting and this is due to his passion for the work of the hyper-realistic American artists of the 60s. He likes to play with transparencies and reflections of chrome surfaces , tattoos and the human figure.
Your source of inspiration? It thrives on everything around it.
* Hyperrealism: Artistic current, especially pictorial, which emerged in the late 1960s and which is based on the faithful, almost photographic reproduction of reality.

The idea that we all hide behind a mask at some point was what...

History: Carried out during the last two months of the pandemic year 2020. The process of the work lasted until 185 hours of work due to the number of nuances of the skin, the tattoos and the Maneki-neko, a Chinese cat that with the mechanical and repetitive movement from top to bottom of its paw tries to attract the prosperity after observing all the...

Sphinx Cat
History: Without a doubt, one of the things I like to draw and paint the most is the eyes, with their different textures, brightness and transparencies. Something that I have seen in the exhibitions is the amount of time that visitors spend in front of the work, as if hypnotized by the eyes of this "Sphinx Cat" that do not leave anyone indifferent. This...
