Miro Arva

Miro Arva, born in former Czechoslovakia, ​discovered his passion for visual arts in his late twenties. Rather than ​being quite reserved throughout his childhood and teenage years, his photography work became the​ ​ total opposite​​​ couple of years later. In 2008, Arva traveled​ to England to pursue his photography career. The new country became his new home. One of the highlights of Arva’s journey so far was photographing 90s supermodel Naomi Campbell. In recent​ years, Arva’s genre of photography became notably diverse. He is not afraid of​ ​experimenting and trying new formats, new mediums​, and styles. In his work, Arva examines people, their behavour, emotions.
