Drawings on paper

Miranda studied literature and philosophy at Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM) in Mexico City. During the 1970s he started to scribble on paper and eventually became a way of making art. In the 1990s his drawings were published in renown Mexican newspapers and magazines including El Financiero, Novedades, La Jornada and Excelsior.

In his words:

The line guided me on a journey of exploration and understanding of the meaning of life. Quietly but working steadily I discovered the simple joy of creating drawings that emerge naturally not knowing the outcome. It’s like a philosophical quest.

Understanding the world that surrounds me and creating these lines on a paper is like breathing. It’s a normal part of being a human being and part of my life. I have pursued with strong interest, lines that define the fictional characters of everyday life that emerge. It feels like a game for a child, when you start drawing and don’t know exactly what will happen. It’s an energy that lives inside of me and that I cannot explain with words.
