出生於菲律賓的視覺藝術家米格爾‧伯哈 (Miguel Paulo BORJA)，主要創作媒材為丙烯和油彩。他早期受到抽象及印象主義極具親和力的筆觸，以及更具分析性的超現實主義運動的影響，將兩者結合起來創造了他自己的藝術世界觀。他的風格是無可致疑的大膽粗獷，就像展現他作品中主體意識和意外之間的拉扯、形式和抽象之間交流。透過這種自然的發展，演化出與他內斂的社會觀點相仿的容貌，縱然畫中的人物把自己的情緒巧妙地隱藏在抽象厚塗的顏料底下，但透過觀看者的眼睛，造物與物體之間的主從關係了然於目。對未知事物的探索創造了一個歷程，並且在這抽象紋理之中持續激發他繼續創作的泉源。

Miguel Paulo Borja is a visual artist working mostly in acrylic and oil paint. Having both an affinity for the stroke-work of abstract impressionism and being heavily influenced early on by the more analytical surrealist movement, he combines the two to create a world of his own. His style is raw and unapologetic, much like his process which gives way for a communion between will and accident; form and abstraction.

Through this automatist progression, he is able to conjure figures that seem to share his introverted outlook towards society. They hide themselves behind a heavy background of abstract impasto; with the help of the viewer’s eye, creatures and objects are slowly made known. The exploration into the unascertained creates a process in which the search for purpose within abstract folds inspire him to keep creating.
