Miguel Ángel Rojas is a conceptual artist whose work addresses gender, identity, economics, politics, ecology and power relations. He has explored from photographic documents of clandestine gay encounters in downtown Bogotá movie theaters in the seventies, to the relationships between drug trafficking and power elites.

This critical eye always present in his images leads him to denounce the causes and consequences generated by the armed conflict to marginalized communities in Colombia, as well as the damage in the territories caused by extractive companies -legal and illegal- and the war on drugs. This, without leaving aside themes of a more personal nature, with the elaboration of proposals that have allowed him to delve into a critical and intimate introspection of his being, in a quest to reaffirm himself as an individual.

The freedom to work with marginal themes and materials encouraged the artist to approach different media such as engraving, drawing, painting, video, photographic reductions and installation in innovative ways. These became ideal media for the deployment of symbolic and conceptual thematic patterns. His artistic practice develops along three main lines: image, matter and texts. The images result in two-dimensional and three-dimensional pieces, videos, super 8 and sound. His material exploration has gone through body secretions, coca leaves, dollar bills, gold, among others. Texts are used in association with images and in fully textual works in which matter is important.
