Miguel Ángel González

Miguel Ángel González is a highly skilled sculptor whose work focuses on the exploration of the human body and its interaction with space, emphasizing movement and expression. Trained at Argentina's National School of Painting, Sculpture, and Engraving, he has received numerous awards, including the Honor Award at the National Fine Arts Salon for his piece The Athlete (1983) and the Honor Award at the First Sculpture Salon of San Nicolás (1985) for Cosmic Birth.

In 1991, González moved to Lleida, where he has continued to develop his artistic language, incorporating materials such as iron and stainless steel into his sculptures, achieving a balance between strength and poetry. His international career includes participation in programs such as Artists in Residence in Tokyo, Japan (1993), as well as the creation of public artworks in Yugoslavia.

In Catalonia, his monumental works include pieces such as Tribute to Espasa (1995), Manolo Calpe (Lleida, 1997), Tears of the Earth (Lleida, 1998), Stampede (Lleida, 2011), The Window (Almacelles, 2013), Culture - Centenary of the Birth of Salvador Espriu (Almacelles, 2013), Dance (Almacelles, 2018), and Red Cat (Almacelles, 2021).

One of his most iconic pieces is Contemplation, a monumental sculpture installed in 2016 at the Roc del Quer Viewpoint in Andorra. This artwork invites reflection and contemplation of the landscape, seamlessly blending art and nature. Its creation was documented in the book The Roc del Quer Viewpoint. Surpassing Limits. Defying Gravity, written by Raimon Díaz Mariño and published by Pagès Editors in 2018.

Currently, González continues to reside in Lleida, establishing himself as a key figure in the contemporary sculptural scene.
