My Inspiration

My Background

Miguel Espinoza has been interested in art his entire life. He began drawing and painting at a young age and has always been inspired by color in nature and how it affects the human psyche.

My Background

Miguel uses many different mediums in his abstract art such as acrylics, gouaches, graphite pencil, charcoal, oils and pastels. He enjoys incorporating patterns in some of his works to create fresh and interesting images and compositions. He believes that working in a single medium is restrictive to his artistic process. Each idea manifests in its own individual style.

My Inspiration

There are many things that inspire my paintings, daily walks, news events, or just looking out the window and seeing a stunning sunrise or sunset. I enjoy listening to a variety of music, seeing great cinematography as well as other artists work to get inspiration. Many of my pieces are directly influenced by these experiences. I love recreating people, sunsets, plants and wildlife in my work. I look at light source and what it does to the surrounding areas, objects and people. I look at shadows and reflected light, lines and atmosphere to create a sense of depth and perspective.

Statue of Freedom

This work was commissioned by a DC art collector for his new home foyer. He specifically wanted a 36" x 60" charcoal and graphite drawing of Statue of Freedom. The work took 45 days to complete but the end result was quite rewarding.

Painting Flowers

As an artist, I never saw myself painting flowers. But I'm glad my attitude changed because it is truly enjoyable. I hope you agree.

Painting an amaryllis in Full Bloom

I made this time-lapsed video of me painting an amaryllis in the early Spring this year. Enjoy!
