About me
Mioara is a Romanian-French artist. She grew up during the communist era of Romania, but after the Revolution she left her country and lived in many other places as Italy, Greece, Switzerland, France and India before she recently settled in Emirates.

Golden and silver are her strongest psychological colours, and the blue is the one she crave for, the colour of her longing,the blue of the distance and silence, the colour of something that she feel like will never can touch or appropriate.
Crystallize a feeling, that is her work.“Because Art is the name we give to our feelings made public. ”, as she like to paraphrase Iain Thomas...
