Mireia Serra was born in 1973, she graduated from the Llotja School of Art in Barcelona, specialized in iron and bronze, then took an advanced bronze casting course in Llotja de Barcelona. She further studied in Barcelona with the sculptor Jorge Egea in the Museu Europeu d’Art Modern (European Museum of Modern Art), improving her portrait technique.
Mireia creates sensuous sculptures showing the beauty of snapshots caught in life which are full of emotions and feelings along the life journey. Her little artworks capture the beauty of moments: A young lady challenged by the adventure of a new trip, a young man pondering about his dreams, a lost girl thinking about different options to know more about herself.
Mireia vividly demonstrates how a piece of fine art sculpture could incorporate into our daily life, linking us with art that inspires and triggers us to contemplate about life and relationship. The sculptress aptly concludes her work as creating “Figurative sculptures depicting contemporary everyday scenes. Reflect my inner world thus expressing moods and desires, feelings, joys and concerns stemming from my relationship with the world”. At present Mireia lives and works in Barcelona, Spain.
A serious and committed artist, Mireia, has forged a career full of achievements and recognition over the years, consolidating an international projection that has led her to carry out a multitude of individual and collective exhibitions around the world. Thanks to the attraction that her pieces arouse in both the public and the collectors, she has been invited to participate in many international fairs, her work being found in private collections in Spain, United Kingdom, New York, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Singapore, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Belgium, Holland and Australia.
To Mireia Serra, sculpture became a delicate and innocent mirror of her inner universe, thus expressing, as if from a cathartic exercise, her moods and desires. It opens the doors to a cosmos of sensations, memories and experiences, intimately related to our environment, a key that allows us to establish a close relationship with the viewer from the very beginning, inviting us to incorporate art into our daily life; opening spaces for contemplation and reflection on the future of our existence and our
relationship with the world.
Her hands model a universe full of intentions, dreams and feelings in which small characters come to life through the lost-wax technique. A meticulous artist, she first presents her figures in carving wax, allowing her to define, in the best way, each of the details that she wants to enhance. Her past in the world of fashion urges her to emphasize complementary elements such as shoes, clothes and everyday objects, almost as if it were a jewelry work.
