In the realm of painting, Miguel has exhibited his work solo on more than twenty occasions, with standout exhibitions like "Send Nudes" (2019-2022), which has toured various national and international venues and "Playground" (2021), showcased at the Mexican Cultural Institute in San Antonio, Texas
The essence of his work delves into the complexity of corporeality and pictorial illusionism. He explores nudity as a performative act that challenges and questions social and cultural norms, integrating themes of coexistence and censorship as intrinsic elements to the representation and experience of the human body. Each stroke and each scene becomes a critical dialogue with artistic tradition and contemporary tensions.
In 2017, he founded Atelier Mesones, an academy dedicated to drawing and painting. In 2020, he established Salón Mesones (formerly lagalerí_a), a space that fosters reflection and dissemination of contemporary art, with a particular focus on Mexican pictorial production. Currently, Miguel resides and works in the Historic Center of Mexico City, where he has set up his creative workshop.
