Miguel Osuna has been painting and drawing from an early age. He studied architecture in Mexico, and a year after graduating, moved to Los Angeles. He practiced architectural design in diverse industries through 2001. In 2002 he started painting full time while visiting Buenos Aires. Upon return, he engaged in an exploration of Los Angeles, his adopted hometown, through an extensive series of abstract landscape paintings that still continues. His studio practice frequently involves investigations on different techniques, applications and materials. He presented a new body of abstract work, ‘SPIN’, in Los Angeles in November of 2012. He was invited by the California Department of Transportation to present a solo exhibition at the CALTRANS District 7 Headquarters on November 2013. Works from his series “The Bends” were included in the 2015 Ping Pong Exhibition in Basel, Switzerland during 2015 Art Basel Art Fair, and in Miami Beach when Ping Pong “bounced” to Miami Beach during Art basel Miami, December 2015. His work was included in the exhibition “Work Over School” at the Craft Contemporary Art Museum of Los Angeles in September 2016. His work was included in the exhibition “Ambiguous Reality”, showing in Naples, Italy in December 2017, where

he was subsequently invited to a three month art residency, by the Art 1307 Institution, culminating in a solo exhibition in May of 2018. His work is now on permanent collection and display at Pio Monte della Misericordia Museum in Naples, Italy.

Osuna lives and works in Los Angeles.
