about-image

JP Migneco (b. 1989, Malta) is a visual artist who lives and works in his home country. He holds a Master of Fine Arts in Digital Arts degree from the University of Malta. Working across photography, drawing, painting, and mixed media, Migneco’s practice navigates the space between geometric and geologic abstraction. Known for his meticulous, process-driven approach, Migneco creates layered paintings that explore the tension and harmony between the natural and the artificial.

In 2018, Migneco was awarded a Project Support Grant by Arts Council Malta, which supported his first solo exhibition in Valletta. He has since participated in several group shows, establishing himself as a rising presence in Malta’s contemporary art landscape. His most recent solo exhibition, Irregularity (2023, Valletta Contemporary), focused on the interplay between organic and constructed environments.

Migneco is currently developing new work for his upcoming solo exhibition, which will feature figurative paintings and mixed media installations that continue his exploration of the evolving connections between human presence, landscape, and materiality.
