Marina San Miguel - San Miguel Art

My work covers many topics, from traditional figurative art, to portraits, and landscapes. Sometimes I want to capture the quiet tranquility of a mountain hike, or the endless variation of individual trees. Sometimes I find myself frustrated with life, and I want to create paintings that reflect the failings of our society, or the inner turmoil that we all deal with from time to time. Regardless of subject, my paintings have thick, expressive brushstrokes, and bold colors and lighting. Much of my art is representational, but often I like to step beyond the confinement of realism and experiment with surrealism and abstraction in combination with a more realistic approach.
