(b. Paraguay, 1948).
Migliorisi added found objects to his images to create compositions such as the one in his untitled acrylic on canvas of 1991. The fanciful work incorporates tile motifs and plaster-like textures. It shows a nude woman reclining as if asleep below a cooking pot in which a gray fish floats. Over the woman's body swim lively goldfish. Migliorisi, like his contemporary Bernardo Krasniansky (b. 1951), was influenced by Pop art, psychedelic art, and rock music. He and Krasniansky became famous in Asunción for their body art and for staging "happenings." Unlike other Paraguayan artists of his time, Migliorisi stuck to figuration. His work suggests dreams, even delirium. Sources:
