Mira Satryan

“My art is a message developing around emotions, eternal to some degree, primary, one could say… It is the fascination, the ability to perceive and experience beauty, a union of most intimate feelings and emotions, the fascination of nature as well as with the relationship with another human being. I express in my painting the concerns and risks that result from a fleeting structure of circumstances defining our everyday lives. Painting is the realm of communicating expression and emotionality that are a common theme of sorts in my paintings – the awareness of impermanence. The structure of our existence is very fleeting and frail; it takes an effort to cultivate it… Our experiences are ephemeral and transitory… and everything passes irrevocably”.

Mira Satryan is a Polish-American painter, who graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow with a Master of Arts degree. After graduation, she worked as a designer. Her focus back then was on posters. Among other awards, she won the 2nd prize for her Krakow Restoration poster.
