Mirela Fioresy

As an artist, I am interested in the visible and invisible forces that shape individual and collective experience, particularly how environments, social systems, and belief structures influence perception, behavior, and forms of belonging. My work examines how these forces operate through what is shown and what remains hidden, and how divisions are constructed through fear, prejudice, and exclusion.

I approach my practice as an inquiry into tension: between visibility and concealment, separation and interconnectedness, surface and depth, detail and totality. Working across painting and mixed media, I experiment with the collision and combination of techniques and materials. Through processes of layering, interruption, and material testing, I explore transformation and shifts across media as ways of questioning how meaning is formed and destabilized.
