Mireille Cerea

Self-taught visual artist, Mireille CEREA was born in 1963 in Marseille, in the South of France, a region where colour rises to light.

During her first professional life, Mireille Cerea dedicated herself to finance as an accountant. A job she loved for 25 years. Then, the disease passed by and disrupted everything. She took refuge in "the artistically".

Art lover, in 2008, she headed to her passion for painting.

She is inspired by great masters such as Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Pierro Di Cosimo, Alfons Mucha and is influenced by contemporary artists like Cinzia Pellin, Vittorio d'Angelico & Warrol's graphic codes.
After exploring different techniques, today she chose to work with acrylics, which allows her to give free rein to her spontaneity, through research on textures, colors and movement.
She uses all her skills and influences to paint artworks that will be light sources, vibrations, emotions. She paints with her personality, her experience. Her artworks reveal a rain of emotions, witness of the weather that lies inside of her and her self-opening upon the world. Art delivers, she says.

In her portfolio, you will mainly find portraits. “The Woman” is her main source of inspiration. The beauty, the voluptuous curves...

In 2010, her meeting with Martine CARRAUD, a graduate of plastic arts at the University of Aix-en-Provence and professor, allowed her to perfect her technique, and evolved her painting to a figurative Art.
In 2014, Catherine KLIFA's studio (University of Los Angeles) gave her an introduction to abstract art and oil painting.
In 2017, she joined the workshop of Danielle CASIMIRI, an art ceramist in Vaucluse to become familiar with modeling, sculpting and to learn the various techniques of decorations: colours to paint (engobes, oxides ...), colours under or on enamel. She discovered the fragility and sensuality of clay.
