Yamila Miglioranza was born in 1997 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The granddaughter of Italian and French immigrants, she grew up shaped by multiple cultural inheritances—something that resonates in her ongoing search, her explorations, and her deep interest in the symbolic and emotional. She currently lives in Barcelona, where she continues to deepen her artistic practice. She studied Psychology at the University of Buenos Aires, a field that shaped her way of observing the world and continues to influence her artistic work. Her journey into art began with photography, which she transformed into an expressive and conceptual tool. She later trained in visual arts, specializing in art direction, where her connection to cinema grew stronger—finding in film a way to travel, inhabit other lives, and build her own narratives. Today, her practice is focused on painting, a discipline she explores freely and self-taught. Yam experiments with pigments, coffee, cinnamon, water, and acrylic on canvas, creating compositions that emerge from gesture, stain, and improvisation. She works with unpredictability, allowing herself to be guided by what unfolds in the moment. She sees her work as a form of introspection, where painting becomes a space of freedom—almost therapeutic. Her interest lies in material research and the exploration of pictorial language through the organic, the erratic, and the intuitive. She uses a limited set of elements that transform over time depending on their combination, intensity, and symbolic weight. Her works reveal intimate decisions, traces of a silent dialogue between body, matter, and memory.
