Francesca Miguieles (she/they) was born in Santiago, Chile and moved to Minnesota, United States in 2016. She graduated Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 2020 with a BFA in Drawing & Painting and Minor in Art History.
Her work ranges from oil paintings, charcoal and ink drawings to photography, collaging and mixed media.
Her work is form on her personal experience as a Queer Latina Immigrant. Her early pieces focus on the female nude figure and illustrate her varied emotions on how women’s bodies are perceived, consumed and affected by society. Her recent work searches to open awareness within discourses of personal identity, the human experience and the intersection of the idea of “self” and one’s body.
