My name is Vanessa Miroshkina, going by Miro Vane Art, currently studying at Parsons School of Design for a BFA. I am a multidisciplinary artist primarily specializing in Oil painting.
​
The main themes I explore are psychological states of the mind expressed through color, light, and figurative language intertwined with architecture. Oil painting is the way these themes are expressed.
​
I create large-scale artworks that are saturated with color and contrast, depicting primarily women in an uncanny setting painted with a hallucinogenic aesthetic that is seen through the vibrance of hue. Architecture is a tool to push the artwork into an illusory world the viewer can enter. My imagery is out of the ordinary, something that could be an illusion, memory, or an imagined shard of reality, twisted and consumed by emotion. I explore themes of melancholy, nostalgia, liminal spaces, deja vu, and the familiarity of the unknown.
​
My aesthetic is monochromatic with a limited color palette. To create a psychedelic composition; I use transparency, motion blur, and overlay of many images leaving viewers forever engulfed in the flow of the painting. Vital elements seen in my artworks are color and light. Color helps set the overall tone of the artwork creating a stronger charge of emotion while light is used to make a painting ‘glow’ highlighting important aspects of every piece.
​
My inspiration comes from the experience of being alive, driven by daydreaming, escapism as well as flashes of reality. It comes when my emotions run high or the embodiment of lucid states; the in-between of the waking and the sleep is where the color reveals itself.
