Technique
Joao Miguel is a painter who mixes impressionist and realist techniques. Always using
real landscapes and live models, he applies his impressionist vision, with varying
intensity, to achieve the desired result.
His work is done solely using oil colors
over canvas. His tool is a paint knife which he uses with subtle hand movements,
depositing patches of colors in diverse volumes and directions. This results in a
unique work of art, presenting a depth and dimensional aspect that are the main characteristics
of his paintings.
Biography
João Miguel Hijjar, known as J. Miguel, was born on May 14, 1935 in Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil. He is the youngest of six children of Miguel and Katar Hijjar, Syrian immigrants

S/A. Soon, his arts' talent placed him at the technical drawing department in which
he worked for about 30 years. For the last five years in the company he worked as
the President of the BEL, the employees' library. Through BEL, he developed a cultural
movement dedicated to the company's employees. He created the "Projeto Cinco e Meia"
which was dedicated to music and drama presentations, photography and painting classes,
poetry and photography competitions, and created the BEL's Choral.
J. Miguel dedicated his free time after work and the weekends to draw and paint. As the years passed, he continued adding new themes and techniques to his pallet. As a disciple of Edy Carollo, his art style is defined and impressionist. J. Miguel participated in many expositions in which he received several awards. He was jury member and guest artist to renowned art shows. After he retired, 1991, he dedicated himself completely to his arts, having the opportunity to present his art through individual expositions.
