Mira Ivanishina

Mira Ivanishina is an artist based in Texas, USA. From an early age, she demonstrated a strong interest in painting, using art as a way to explore emotions, memories, and personal experiences. In 2016, she relocated to the United States, where she began her professional artistic career and continued to develop her visual language and creative expression.
Her work reflects an ongoing exploration of inner dialogue, lived experience, and the emotional landscapes shaped by relationships and personal history.

"Painting is how I release my feelings and make sense of the world around me. Every work comes from something deeply personal — a memory, a moment, or an emotion that stayed with me. When I paint, I’m alone with my thoughts, listening to what I feel rather than what I see.
I blend memories, reality, and dreams, using color and objects to express emotions that are hard to explain with words. Painting gives me space to be vulnerable, to reflect, and to share my inner world openly with others."
