Red Tree Painting

Hello! I’m Mira Nicole van Rhoon, born in the vibrant city of Amsterdam in 1966. Art and design are in my blood, thanks to a family history rich with creativity and courage. My grandmother, Jacoba, was not only a talented photographer but also someone who never stopped innovating. My uncle Eduard’s paintings gracing the Rijksmuseum and his brave role in the resistance during WWII have always inspired me. Even my great-grandfather’s architectural masterpieces leave a lasting impression on my heart and work. Life had its own plans for me. While I was excited about attending renowned fine arts and design schools, family circumstances gently steered me onto a self-taught path. This twist allowed me to discover my own voice, experimenting with materials and finding joy in repurposing everyday objects into something beautiful and unexpected. It’s this hands-on creativity and a keen eye for emerging trends that give my work its unique flair. The COVID-19 pandemic was a challenging time, but it also opened new doors for my creativity. I turned to canvas as a refuge, letting my emotions and experiences flow onto the surface. Traveling across Europe, Australia, and beyond has filled my art with diverse influences, from stunning architecture and vibrant fashion to mouthwatering cuisine and lively music. Photography remains a passion of mine, capturing fleeting moments that often spark new ideas for my creations. Nature is my sanctuary. There’s something magical about walking along deserted beaches, collecting seashells, and listening to the soothing rhythm of the waves. The sea’s endless beauty and tranquility deeply influence my work, reminding me to stay connected to the natural world and infuse that serenity into my designs. I am honored to be a featured artist at Galerie Joie De Vivre in Vence, France. This vibrant gallery, nestled in the heart of the French Riviera, is dedicated to showcasing diverse artworks and fostering a culture of inclusivity and artistic discovery. Being part of such a supportive and inspiring community allows me to connect with art enthusiasts and fellow artists alike. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me and my art. I hope my creations touch your heart and inspire you as much as they bring me joy to create them. I invite you to explore my portfolio and connect with me to discuss how my work can bring inspiration and beauty to your space.
