INSTRUCTORS

Miguel Soler-Roig (Barcelona, 1961). In his multiple journeys through different countries, he has been in contact with different cultures, adding to his cosmopolitan and adventurous career a worldly knowledge and refined lifestyle, transmitting such qualities in all his works. 

As a student at the School of Art in Basel, Switzerland he cultivated a sharper vision towards life thanks to his continuous visits to museums, exhibitions, artist studios and fairs. Later on, during his higher education at Rhode Island School of Design in Providence (USA) and in his early career in New York, he enhanced his enthusiasm for the arts as an inner necessity. On his return to Spain he continues studies in photography, and completes an European Master on Fine Art Photography at IED Madrid, and several professional photography workshops organized by PhotoEspaña.

Today as an artist, photography is his main art feature, weaving in him natural instincts and deeper feelings. He lives the moments while taking photographs, but as he himself confirmes, sometimes portrays what he wants to live. On the other hand, he is very active in the circuits of contemporary art, workshops, conferences (Photoespaña, Arles, Fotofest), exhibitions coordination and cultural management.

Some of the most prominent spaces where he has shown his work are: RISD Museum of Art, Providence; American Institute of Graphic Arts, New York; Schule für Gestaltung, Basel; PhotoEspaña festival, Madrid; Museu Vida Rural, Tarragona; IVAM Museum, Valencia and Venice Arsenale.

Recent solo exhibitions and group shows include: Madrid Photo; Copenhagen Photo Festival; Antonio Saura Foundation, Cuenca; Lisbon Art Fair; Galeria Alejandro Sales, Barcelona; JustMad Art Fair, Madrid; ” Mutants Books” Casa Encendida, Madrid; Gallery Blanca Berlín, Madrid; Arte Laguna, Venice; ABSOLUT Portfolio’s Show, Photo España; PINTA, New York; Fotofest, Houston; Fotofever, Paris; Society for Photographic Education, Cleveland, Ohio; Lianzhou Foto Festival, China; Arts Libris, Barcelona and Photo London.

He has traveled extensively to Arizona, Utah, Mexico and other countries like Ethiopia, China and Morocco to complete his current photography projects.
