Nuria Garcia Miró

A Leap of Faith

As the daughter of renowned artists Nuria Miró and García Soler, Nuria Garcia Miró grew up surrounded by art.  Consequently, she gained knowledge and techniques that allowed her to translate her inspiration into every painting.

Miró’s initial career path was in the corporate world, focusing on marketing and design.  However, after some time harnessing her true passion, she ultimately made the daring decision to pursue art professionally.  Focusing on positive change, she took a “leap of faith” in herself. Thus allowing herself to concentrate on painting and what filled her childhood with happiness.

By incorporating aquatic themes in her art, Miró pays homage to her parents. This is because the sea has always been present in much of her parent’s artwork.  She sees the water as a starting point: the idea of jumping from a waterfall. Furthermore, Miró uses water as a metaphor for big leaps and changes in life, much like her own experience. In her paintings, there are hundreds of figures in which the joy of living is expressed as they “leap”. They are those friends, couples, children, adolescents, individuals, and families who collectively manifest a passionate and dynamic attitude towards life.

Her Artistic Process

Abstract art is Nuria’s preference as it allows her to express her feelings without restrictions.  Emphasis of her characters are created using clean, geometric, and colorful shapes combined with natural organic forms.  Utilizing mixed media technique, she personalizes the 2D micro-sculptures (also a nod to her parents) and contrasts them against flat and luminous colors.  All the figures express individual freedom of movement with a playful and joyful attitude towards life.
