Mary Martin Galleries of Fine Art

Miguel is internationally recognized as an artist photographer. His work has been published in prestigious magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, The Guardian, The New York Times… Born in 1971 in northwestern Spain, Miguel was trained at the School of Photography and Cinema in Madrid (EFTI). His work is now exhibited in numerous galleries in Europe, Canada and the USA. His artistic approach is based on the concept of identity, being and appearing. Through animals, flowers and objects, the artist challenges us about the image we make on ourselves, or the one we strive to create through others

Miguel Vallinas Prieto began his ‘Second Skins’ series with the intention of ‘investigating the animal in us all’. This whimsical photo series sees various animals dressed in contemporary outfits, posing as typical human models would. The clothes appear to match their personalities, acting as a true second skin.
