Miguel Starcevich is a Los Angeles–based contemporary artist working across mixed media painting and embodied sculptural intervention. His practice engages contemporary figuration through an investigation of constructed identity, surface tension, and spatial disruption.

Starcevich’s mixed media paintings build the human figure through layered acrylic, oil crayon, and drawn line, forming provisional anatomies that resist resolution. Structural fragmentation and exposed edges remain visible. The figure becomes architecture rather than portrait, positioned within a broader dialogue surrounding identity-based art and material-driven contemporary painting.

In parallel, his body-based and performance-based sculptural works extend this inquiry into physical space. Using the human form as imprint and structural interruption, Starcevich situates the figure within a framework of instability and revision. These works operate at the intersection of installation art and figurative practice, confronting visibility, concealment, and transformation.

Working from Los Angeles, Starcevich contributes to the evolving field of contemporary art that examines the instability of identity and the politics of embodiment. Across series and site-responsive installations, his work treats the figure not as image, but as constructed terrain.

The result is a practice rooted in material intelligence and conceptual rigor. The human figure is not depicted. It is built.
