With a background in Architecture, Miguel S. Barnola ("Mutuku") is an Spanish artist based in Lisbon. His work is deeply
rooted in architecture, bringing structure and movement together in bold, vibrant ways. He plays with lines, shapes, and spaces, turning them into rhythms that feel alive - like bodies in motion or energy flowing through a city. Inspired by how people move, connect, and leave traces in the world around them, he reimagines architecture not as something static, but as something fluid, human, and in constant change. His style bridges precision with freedom, creating pieces that speak to a new generation looking for art that feels both urban and alive.

APPROACH.

He understands that art must take into account the physical and cultural context in which it is presented, as well as the potential to transform and enhance the environments we inhabit.

Mutuku’s work is a fusion of geometry, texture, and vibrant color schemes, reflecting the rhythms and contrasts of urban life. Using a combination of traditional mediums like acrylic and experimental materials, he evokes a sense of both permanence and flux.
