Passion Painting

“Intuitive art speaks when words have no form or shape. For me, creating art is an expressive means to channel creative energy with positive emotions that reflect a higher vision within. I believe in the divine healing power of art. Art connects the viewer and the artist. I would describe each piece I create as 'an emotional conversation through colour and shape. A tangible expression of one's soul.” – Mira. Mira is a renowned abstract artist, gallery curator, art consultant and writer based in New Zealand. Her work is a testament to her passion for self-expression, energy, colour, and the various forms of connection. As a naturally creative and intuitive person, Mira derives inspiration from the emotions and feelings she perceives in her surroundings, which serve as the driving force behind her captivating creations. Using vibrant oil colours, she skilfully translates these inspirations into fluid shapes that intuitively flow onto her canvas. Currently based in beautiful Bay of Plenty, Mira works diligently to create her transformative healing art and pursues her passion for writing a novel about her artistic journey and the power of healing arts. Mira's artistic journey began at the tender age of six when she enrolled in a private art school. By the age of eleven, she had already gained international recognition, winning her first award at the prestigious International Children's Art Show in Tokyo, Japan. Continuing her artistic pursuits, she furthered her studies in art, photography, economics, and management in her birth country of Slovakia. It was in her early twenties that Mira ventured to the United Kingdom, where she resided for twelve years, nurturing her artistic skills, took on further studies in Psychology and Tourism and enriching her creative perspective. In 2014, Mira fulfilled her dream by creating The Art Lounge, a fine art gallery she established in New Zealand. Over the years, she curated monthly art shows for talented, New Zealand based artists and many exciting and exclusive art events and workshops. However, in the winter of 2023 it was a time for the gallery to shift its focus to fine art online sales and personalised in-house art consultations. This move allowed Mira to take a well-deserved rest, to write her novel, and concentrate on her new art collection before her and her husband's decision to move to a new place.
