About Martin.

Martin Miranda Vargas is a portrait painter and instructor whose work combines classical traditions with modern ideas. Born and raised in Arequipa, Peru, he graduated with a degree in Fine Arts in 2015 before continuing his artistic journey in Europe.

Martin refined his technical skills at the Florence Academy of Art, where he developed a strong foundation in traditional painting techniques. His style grew further at the Barcelona Academy of Art, where he graduated in 2022. There, he learned to mix classical methods with modern approaches, creating a unique style that defines his work today.

Now based in Barcelona, Martin is both a teacher at the BAA and a practicing artist. He is passionate about portraiture and explores themes like identity, self-expression, and belonging, especially in connection with Barcelona’s vibrant queer community. His portraits reflect personal and shared experiences, telling stories about people and their lives.

Recently, his works have been exhibitied in group exhibitions including “Qualia Movimiento Vesperi” at the MEAM Museum (Barcelona, 2024), the Barcelona Academy of Art Teachers Show (BAA Gallery, 2024), and “Qualia Sensaciones Brutas” at Palau Dalmases (Barcelona, 2022).
