Miguel Angel Avila

Miguel Angel Avila
Miguel Angel Avila is the December 2004 Digital Color Artist of the Month. Houston-based Avila was born in California in 1975 and raised in Monterrey, Mexico. Driven by a natural talent, he layers his meditative work with references to culture, art and the self.

He offers us works that at first appear direct and simple, but on reflection are complex and vibrant. They describe an ideal world, and at the same time the real one; modern Mexico: industrialized, chaotic and beautiful, a container of naïve memories. And, American society: individualist, highly commercial, superficial and visually attractive, a container of impressive memories and huge disappointments.
