Miguel Ángel Tornero
photographer
Miguel Ángel Tornero is a Spanish visual artist and photographer born in Baeza in 1978. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from the University of Granada and currently lives and works in Madrid. His artistic practice explores the boundaries of photography through digital collages, often starting with an extensive personal archive of documentary photographs. His work has evolved from visual autobiographies to projects focusing on random encounters, such as 'The Random Series,' which documents his daily life across different cities like Berlin, Rome, and Madrid. He has held artist residencies at the Royal Academy of Spain in Rome and Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin.[1,2,3,4]
