About the Author
Miguel Arraiz García is an architect and creator from Valencia, Spain, whose work inhabits the space between art, architecture, and ritual.
Through projects such as Temple of the Deep (Burning Man 2025), Àgora Valencia (World Design Capital 2022 Pavilion), Renaixement (Burning Man 2016), and numerous large-scale interventions within the traditional festivity of Las Fallas, he has explored the transformative power of fire as a language of healing and belonging.
He is a co-founder of the Flamma Foundation, an initiative dedicated to connecting fire-based festivities and ritual traditions around the world, establishing a shared cultural and symbolic territory where fire is understood as a universal language of transformation.
A Regional Contact for Burning Man in Spain, Miguel has been a bridge between two cultures of fire, Valencia and Black Rock City, helping to share and expand the Burning Man ethos of radical creativity, community, and participation.
His work reflects a constant dialogue between tradition and modernity: a struggle to bring change not through rupture, but through respect, delving into the true principles that have often been forgotten along the way to rediscover new directions.
For Miguel, creation is an act of remembrance and renewal. His projects are not monuments, but moments of transformation: built to burn, remembered to inspire.
