Miguel Gontijo
Biography
Miguel Gontijo is from Santo Antonio do Monte, Minas Gerais, and currently lives in Belo Horizonte. He is a graduate in history and philosophy, and post-graduate in Art and Contemporaneity. He received several awards throughout most of the national territory and had several individual exhibitions, with works in public entities in Brazil and abroad.
In 2004 he published the book Profanas Scripta, which the following year was released in Portugal with the plastic exhibition of the same title. With his contemporary look, he subverts the order of things. His paintings exchange themes, motifs and techniques with other arts, another time. Sometimes it shows the past, sometimes it is the present that imposes itself.
