Always working on paper, Miki Leal develops a highly personal and abstract imaginary world with pop and dreamlike overtones. His creative methodology relies on association to discover elements that he later revisits with the energy and versatility that characterize his painting. Among the most recurring themes in his work are his family and domestic environment, his passion for various musical genres, and the presence —serving as a leitmotif— of a symbolic corpus grounded in the geometry of decorative patterns, particularly those inspired by Seville (tiles, mosaics, terrazzo). Regarding his multiple connections to abstraction, he has said: “I have moved through different creative processes, although it has always been the process of an abstract painter, because I always start from white. What matters is to keep painting until something appears something made of the elements one has in mind at that moment.”
