The Girl Without a Name by MIA

I remember writing a poetry with the same title and it is like de javu - only this time, my poem is captured by brush strokes. Mia is a new artist who can paint life into colors. I love the use of complementary hues and shades, subtly contrasting in its surreal form. Simple yet executed with grace. I may only assume that this is a self-portrait of a girl who will someday make her name in the artist's hall of fame. I can only look forward to it in the future.



More about the Artist:

MIA was born and raised in Los Angeles, and grew up watching cartoons and animated films, drawing, reading, and writing. She has long been fascinated by story and character, and the qualities that make people unique.


What is your Philosophy?

I believe that all individuals contain an entire universe within them. Her recent work strives to represent the unseen forces at work within the subject -- spirits, inner demons, conflicting emotions, and the imagination. The result is a surreal amalgam of imagery that weaves multiple layers of detail, endeavoring to represent the multi-faceted personalities of her characters, their complex identities, and their personal mythologies.
