MIA Art CollectionDuring our visit to Berlin and the first art fair that took place after the covid19 pandemic hit, we joined the Berlin Art Week 2020 fair to visit some of the artists present in the MIA Art Collection, such as Mariela Scafatti (@scafatiscafati ) and Ana Daganzo(@anadaganzo), the latter artist represented by the Projekteria Gallery of Barcelona.
We are so happy to launch our new MIA Anywhere Virtual exhibition “What do you see when you look”, with two amazing artists: Edurne Herrán from Germany (@pittussi) & Ana Daganzo from Spain (@anadaganzo).
Our MIA Team seat down and talked with Japanese artists Mari Ito, who is part of ‘The fragrance that flowers emanate’ virtual exhibition inside our MIA Virtual Museum.
Within the art world I feel very free. Through this, I feel the possibility of unleashing my imagination and emotions. Through my works I want to present my world, my thoughts to the public. Offer them the possibility of entering it to reflect and feel something new.
The title of this exhibition proposes a tour of the different fragrances emanating from the flowers of the Japanese artist Mari Ito, understanding it as a journey into the interior, not only of the artist but of the Japanese people of today. Bearing in mind the importance that Japanese society affords to the collective or community, when it comes to showing emotions, in many cases, Art is an essential tool for transmitting certain thoughts or feelings. Thus, the artist Mari Ito makes use of such an instrument to offer us the aroma of her contemporaneity.
We are very happy to start the second semester of our MIA Anywhere Virtual Museum with this new virtual exhibition: Mari Ito (@maribarcelona), “The fragrance that flowers emanate”, curated by Alejandra Rodríguez Cunchillos (@alejandra_aurorita).
We are happy to announce that we have receive more than +500 portfolios of women artists who are looking to be part of MIA anywhere Virtual Museum! Thank you so much to every artists, gallery and curator who supported our first open call and send us her portfolio.
This in an open call!
We are very delighted to announce our open call to participate and be part of our MIA Anywhere Virtual Museum!

At the end of my studies in Art History and passing through the Prado Museum as my first work experience, I changed course and launched into entrepreneurship. Art never abandoned me, but enriched everything that started. Immersive experiences have always motivated me, organizing plastic art exhibitions accompanied by music programming, literary presentations, debates; in short, out-of-the-ordinary meetings where culture flows freely.
(In Spanish)
Rituales, Ritos
Conscientes o inconscientes, individuales o colectivos los ritos han sido una constante en la historia de la raza humana. Este conjunto de reglas, gestos, son establecidas por un grupo de personas o una comunidad. La liturgia con la que se precede un acto, se desarrolla, se concluye, se invoca, se ahuyenta …
1. How and when is your passion for art born?
Well, I do not think it was a precise moment, I think it is something that you bring from a young age, I always remember feeling encouraged by certain things through drawing or the pleasure of seeing details in images or in anything.
