Collection: Miguel Wattio

Miguel Jiménez Jiménez (Seville, 1966) is a self-taught artist living in Gijón since 2004. From a very young age he showed artistic interests. Although he held several exhibitions in cultural centers in Seville, there he always worked as an electrician (that's where Wattio comes from) and it was not until 2011 when he held his first individual exhibition in an art gallery. It was in Gijón, at the Cornión Gallery with which he continued working until its closure in 2022.

In that first exhibition he surprised with a mix of surrealism-pop where a series of characters walking under the window of his house coexisted with everyday objects. He called this series precisely “From my window.”

In 2014 he held his next exhibition: “Popular Classics” where, continuing with his characteristic pop style, he made a humorous review of the history of art. From this date he began to make geometric compositions where pop characters coexist within a geometric “landscape.”

Starting in 2015 after the death of his sister, his characters transform into black silhouettes of walkers who wander through an abstract-geometric world. This new stage lasts until 2020 and the two exhibitions held at the Cornión gallery in Gijón in 2017 and 2022 have very significant titles: “De Paso” (2017) and “Camín a Niundes” (2020).

Currently Miguel Watio has begun a new stage where his characters seem to have come back to life with his original pop within his landscapes of geometric abstraction.
