Diego Miccige

Diego Miccige was born in Buenos Aires (Argentina) in 1972, where he currently lives and works.

“Diego Miccige’s pieces take shape from a structured, programmatic foundation—grids meticulously pierced into paper—that gradually opens into a sensitive,
perceptual field shaped by light, line, and color. Drawing on the extensive history of textile traditions—particularly those rooted in pre-Columbian Andean cosmologies—Miccige imagines the grid as both a conceptual framework and a generative device. His works explore textile not only as a material practice but as a symbolic architecture of connection, continuity, and balance. In the series Minimal Variations and Sacred of Huiracocha presented in the exhibition, subtle chromatic variations and geometric forms develop across the surface, where light is delicately caught in micro-reflections that resonate like a quantum of energy. The modular, embroidered, and topographic constructions echoe both ancient cosmologies and systems of mapping—from the Nazca lines to textile practices—while also engaging with contemporary networks and architectures of being that are at once systemic and deeply embodied”, Laura Hakel (2025).
