Born in 1989 in Malta

Resides and works in Malta

JP Migneco has a Master of Fine Arts in Digital Arts degree from the University of Malta. He is best known for his meticulous paintings which involve layering and juxtaposing a wide array of pigments. The Maltese artist delves into ideas based on the relationship between culture and nature by reimagining symbolic objects and environments through a process which incorporates photography, drawing, painting and mixed media. Migneco’s work oscillates between geometric and geologic abstraction in order to forge a balance between the natural and artificial so as to provide viewers with new ways of thinking about the importance of the natural world. Since 2018, Migneco has exhibited steadily in both solo and group shows in Malta and Internationally.
