Miguel Soares was born in Braga in 1970. He lives and works in Lisbon. He studied photography at Ar.Co, Lisbon, from 1989 to 1991, and began exhibiting individually around that time at Galeria Monumental. In 1995, he graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Lisbon. Meanwhile, his work began to take on a three-dimensional quality through sculptural pieces and multimedia installations, using light, video, sound, images, and motion detectors. He participated and collaborated in the organisation of independent exhibitions such as "Faltam Nove Para 2000" (1991), "Independent Worm Saloon" (1994), "Wallmate" (1995), "Jamba" (1997), "Espaço 1999" (1999), all in Lisbon. He has been a guest lecturer in the field of Multimedia Art at the Universities of Coimbra, Algarve, Évora and Lisbon. Over the last 20 years, he has devoted himself mainly to 3D animation, electronic music composition (with two CDs released), video and photography, exhibiting in around 20 countries. In 2003-2004, he was artist in residence at Location One in New York as a fellow of the Ministry of Culture and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. In 2008, he had a retrospective exhibition of his animations at Culturgest, and he also won the BES Photo 2007 Award. In 2018, he showed the exhibition ‘LUZAZUL’ at MNAC in Lisbon, and more recently, in 2023, he showed the exhibition "Chance Meeting" at the Rialto6 in Lisbon.
