Miguel Ángel Pedroza Ochoa (Mexico, 1986) studied Fine Arts at UNAM, specializing in sculpture, while also completing the Creative Writing Diploma at the Escuela de Escritores of SOGEM. In 2012, he joined the Master’s program in Research and Creation in Art at the University of the Basque Country. He has exhibited individually and collectively in Mexico City, Seville, Eibar, and Vitoria-Gasteiz. He was awarded the FONCA Young Creators grant in 2014–2015 and again in 2017–2018. In 2016, he participated as an artist-in-residence at Hotel El Ganzo in San José del Cabo. He collaborated with Egiar Aldizkaria no. 1 with the series Piedra de sí (a project supported by Fundación Bilbaoarte). He was selected as an emerging artist to exhibit at Arte Careyes 2017. In 2017, he delivered the lecture The Idea of Lightness in Sculpture within the Research Experiences Program of the Coordination of Research and Experimentation Networks in Design and the Arts (CORIEDA UNAM). He approaches sculpture as a phenomenon that requires physical force, emotional intensity, and symbolic complexity in order to generate a presence capable of establishing a relationship with the other (as a subject vulnerable to fears, desires, and dreams). His ideal is to construct an intangible venture through the trace of the perceptible. Within this ideal, the other is always present; the goal is to commune with them.

Entre dos imanes hay un espacio digno de construirse. Una oportunidad de hacer evidente lo invisible y volver tangible la tensión que atraviesa un espacio vacío. A Miguel Angel Pedroza le interesa la idea de lo leve en lo escultórico. "Me interesa mucho este tema y todas las relaciones que puede tener la levedad con otras ideas. Por eso en estas obras utilizo el magnetismo como material y como procedimiento del mismo. Juego con el rechazo y con la atracción, y con ese espacio que es un espacio vacío, algo que para los vascos del siglo XX como Oteiza y Chillida es un tema recurrente. Yo me reconozco en ellos y en su obra. Juego con eso, es un vacío dinámico. Tiene movimiento, son piezas ligeras que al mismo tiempo son muy frágiles."
