about the artist's works

Miquel Navarro's work is totally linked to his biography, as the memories of his childhood are decisive in shaping the work of this sculptor, where among the human figures and phallic symbols there are also chimneys from old factories and architectural elements that refer to the landscape he saw as a child. His childhood in Mislata, a town where there was a mixture of agricultural and industrial elements, and at the same time the contrast between the rural environment and the city of Valencia, are totally identifiable throughout his career, as is the use of clay, a material he continues to use in his cities, whose buildings are also made of iron, steel and aluminium. Always tireless, universal and constantly evolving, this singular artist works out of pure creative passion and ensures that he maintains the need to create. He specialises in the creation of sculptural landscapes, cities, installations and assemblies of small variable elements that combine sculpture and architecture from different languages, to lead us, through a variety of creative paths, towards unique aesthetic emotions. All of this is participated with different materials such as clay, lead, zinc, glass, stone, plaster and steel, which give the whole a sensuality of Mediterranean order, crossed with certain conceptual winks, and which, in many cases, exude a deep, almost primitive eroticism.
