Miguel's artistic journey began in the heart of Memphis, TN, but it was in the vibrant pulse of New York City's streets that his true passion was ignited. Drawn to the raw energy of traditional street art graffiti and the allure of wheat paste creations, Illmatic Art was born.

As a long-time tattoo artist, the underbelly of the art world was no secret to him. With countless visits to the city that he considers his second home, every hidden alleyway and kaleidoscope mural fueled a desire to delve into a new branch of his artistry. What began as a journey of experimentation and growth within a new medium soon spiralled into an unwavering dedication to hone his craft. 

Captivated by the layers upon layers of artistic narratives incorporated in his pieces, his canvases become stories. Rich with acrylic spray paint and the remnants of old flyers, you'll find that gritty urban street essence tastefully combined with an electricity that invites connection, modernity, and a touch of nostalgia.
