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.

Long Live Differences

This week on MIA Anywhere, we have gathered the work of four female artists from around the globe. We bring these artists together in hopes to show the diversity of works and artists in MIA Anywhere. From photography, to illustration, sculpture to painting, each artist demonstrates immense skill and passion in their work. From Denmark, to Spain, from Iran to Turkey, each artist may have been unknown to the next but all make up part of the larger picture of women artists in the world. We are excited to announce this week’s collaboration will give each artist an exhibition room, allowing the public to submerge in each artists work deeply. In spite of all the differences that could separate these artists, we have found unity through sorority. As female artists and art enthusiasts, we lift each other up to rise as a whole.

Artists:
Alba Escayo – Spain
Mia Olise – Denmark
Elham Soleimannezhad – Iran
Serap Gecu – Turkey
