Miguel Sopena
I am an artist and photographer originally from Valencia, Spain, but now based in Croydon, South London. Before I became an artist, I was a Physicist. The career change has been interesting to say the least.
After I started drawing and painting on my own, I enrolled on a part-time Art and Design Foundation course at City College Brighton and Hove in Southern England, which was an incredibly fun and formative experience. I then moved on to a Portraiture diploma at the Heatherley School of Fine Art in London where I learnt about oil painting and the human figure.
Even though I still work in a figurative way my interests as an artist are very diverse and I am increasingly feeling the pull of abstraction. I often feel drawn towards different techniques and approaches and it can be hard to make up my mind.
