Miguel Ángel Biazzi - Cuadro Retrato - Pintor Cordobés
Miguel Angel Biazzi is a contemporary Argentine painter, sculptor, installation and sketch artist born in the province of Córdoba, Argentina. He spent 20 years in Salta, a city in northwestern Argentina, and currently has a studio located in the neighborhood of San Telmo, Buenos Aires. Biazzi is a Latin American artist indebted to the use of earthy colors and mythical images of Native America to represent his recurring theme of “other with integrity.”

Art
Throughout his career Biazzi has created works that appear to recover ideas and feelings which seem to be frozen in the past. As described by Portuguese anthropologist Nuno Branco, "He (Biazzi) goes further. He lets his mind wander through a number of variations…He is a Guaraní, he is a Tehuelche, he becomes a Mataco. No doubt his art is a process of becoming. The way he has found of becoming someone else, of generously forgetting about himself. The art of invocation: to invoke, to enchant, to seduce, to laugh together, united by an element of softness, are verbs featuring in his grammar and imagery, only deceptively naïve." Having crossed paths with Jorge Luis Borges, acclaimed Argentine writer, essayist, and poet, one can see clear influences in Biazzi’s work of an attempt to elevate quotidian life to a much deserved, yet mostly ignored, prominent hierarchical status.
