Ila Mira

About

Italian/Canadian b. 1980 - Ila Mira is a contemporary artist working with both abstract and figurative drawing and painting techniques. She works with the emotional landscape, the psyche, the subconscious, relationship to others and to the self. The intention with figurative work is to move the viewer on an emotional level; fulfill a representation of a desire that hasn’t been attended to, echo an aching in great need of a salve, give into a moment of tension or of solace. The intention with abstract painting is to give as much information as possible without coming to any kind of conclusion. Let uncertainty exist. Sometimes it may seem obvious, sometimes cryptic, sometimes only a subtle suggestion but never static. Ila uses figurative painting to speak to the heart and abstract painting to speak to the spirit. She is based in Toronto, Canada.
