MIA Anywhere
Art has the power to connect, heal, and build communities, define periods, and start new ones.
While much of the world’s cultural offering has closed its doors to combat the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), at MIA Collection we remain committed to our mission of inspiring knowledge, creativity, ideas and being an art haven created by women.
That is why, committed to our community, we have decided to make available, through our social networks, a technological platform to help artists make their work visible and also show some of our own Collection’s valuable works of art, all this through our exclusively designed MIA Art Collection Virtual Museum

Rana Begum
Born in Bangladesh in 1977, Rana Begum lives and works in London.
The work of London-based artist Rana Begum distills spatial and visual experience into ordered form. Through her refined language of Minimalist abstraction, Begum blurs the boundaries between sculpture, painting and architecture. Her visual language draws from the urban landscape as well as geometric patterns from traditional Islamic art and architecture. Light is fundamental to her process. Her works absorb and reflect varied densities of light to produce an experience for the viewer that is both temporal and sensorial.
Begum was also recently elected an RA (2020)
