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. His first solo exhibition took place in Valletta in 2018, and he has since exhibited steadily in both solo and group shows in Malta and Internationally. Migneco’s practice uses drawing, painting and digital media applications with a process that includes planning, experimentation, and interdisciplinary mediums. Migneco’s work is often inspired by ideas related to landscape painting, geometry, and colour theory, incorporating methods of reinterpreting images of symbolic objects and locations through the use of illusory colour patterns, which are often derived from notions related to modern art, geology and architecture.
