Feels like the first time Painting

Mia Shaly is an international visual artist based in Cyprus, known for her contemporary and unforgettable style. She has been passionate about painting since childhood, and in 2011 she made Cyprus her home, finding endless inspiration in its landscapes and people. Mia combines her background in architecture (Architectural Degree, 2001) and an Arts Enterprise Diploma (2013) with the vision of her inner child. In 2018, she launched her personal art brand “Mia Shaly” and developed her distinctive style, Shalysm. Her paintings are known for their vibrant colors and deep meanings, with each piece created to bring warmth, beauty, and positivity into people’s lives. And for ‘magical’ effect - they glow in the dark under UV lights! Shalysm - is the artist’s research of five meanings of love and universal themes of happiness and freedom, and invites viewers to feel and reflect. Her mission is simple yet powerful: to bring more Love, Happiness, and Joy into people’s lives through art. Actively engaged in the local Cyprus art scene, Mia Shaly has held numerous solo and group exhibitions between 2015 and 2025, curated events for emerging artists, and painted six large-scale murals in Paphos. Mia Shaly deeply believes in the power of art to uplift, connect, and inspire change. Her dream is to have her artworks featured in major museums worldwide, influencing future generations and leaving her mark in the history of 21st-century.
