Allanrey "Migz" Salazar (born 1972) is a multi-awarded international Filipino contemporary visual artist. His work explores themes of individual struggle, faith, ecstasy, and the frailty of humankind, often using contrasting elements such as hard and soft or clean and dirty. Salazar's art aims to challenge conventional standards of beauty and resists straightforward narrative and interpretation, relying on allegory and metaphor.[1]

Background

edit

Allanrey "Migz" Salazar is a Filipino artist based in Paris. Born in the Philippines, he moved to Germany and France in 1997, where he briefly studied fine arts at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts. After the global COVID-19 pandemic, Salazar returned to Manila[2], where he continues to pursue his passion for art and engages with young Filipino artists.

He was one of the few Filipino contemporary artists who were based in Paris during his stay in France. His recent works mark a deviation from abstract art towards cataclysmic biblical iconography with secular socio-religious and political narratives. His pieces often serve as visual satires addressing current socio-political issues and the human condition, reflecting themes of struggle, faith, ecstasy, and doom.[1]
