Biography

Mireia is a self-taught visual artist based in Barcelona. She holds a degree in Hospitality Management and a Master’s in Corporate Communication, and has lived in Tenerife, Victoria (BC, Canada), and Seattle, experiences that continue to shape the way she observes places and time.

Her path hasn’t been linear. In her early twenties, a brain tumour and the process of treatment and recovery prompted her to slow down and reassess what truly mattered. Over time, this led to a clear reordering of priorities: staying close to the people she loves and building a professional life around creativity.

Artist Statement

My practice is primarily abstract because it allows me to create in the most instinctive and honesy way. Rather than beginning with a fixed image, I let each painting grow through movement, curiosity, and experimentation. Every layer responds to the one before it, leaving space for unexpected decisions and happy accidents that often become some of my favourite parts of a painting.
 

Although I spent years working figuratively, abstraction has become the language that best reflects the way I think and create. It gives me the freedom to focus on colour, composition, texture, and atmosphere rather than describing a place exactly as it looks.
 

The Mediterranean is a constant source of inspiration. Its light, weathered architecture, natural textures, and muted colour palettes find their way into my work, as well as my fascination with interior design, thoughtful spaces, and the visual references I collect every day. Together, they shape the atmosphere and balance of each painting.
 

Some paintings continue beyond the canvas itself. I create two independent abstract paintings before tearing them into strips and braiding them together into a new composition. I love seeing how two complete works can create something neither could have become on its own.
 

I hope my paintings bring a sense of calm and beauty into the spaces they inhabit. They are made to be lived with, to become part of a home, to be noticed in different ways over time, and to offer something new each time you come back to them.
