The Festival Internacional de Fotografía de Castilla y León (FIFCYL) presents two exhibitions by Miguel Vallinas.
Segundas Pieles (Second Skins) brings together a gallery of portraits featuring anthropomorphic beings, half-animal and half-human. They confront nature and culture, and they also confront two temporalities in the history of humanity, two forces which confront each other but at the same time coexist harmoniously within the image. It is all a matter of weighting in the sitter’s pause, in their three-quarter pose, in the tonality of their clothing, in a mastery of light reminiscent of the chiaroscuro of the great Renaissance painters.
