About this artwork
"Water and Oil Don’t Mix" is both the title and the guiding principle of this project. Mirela Fioresy takes a fundamental lesson from painting - that oil and acrylic will never blend - and transforms it into a method for discovery. By layering these materials on a single surface, she allows their resistance to guide the outcome, watching pigments push, repel, and settle into surprising organic forms. This encounter becomes both process and metaphor,…
capturing moments of tension, separation, and uneasy coexistence.
In this new body of work, Spaces, the white ground remains visible and active, creating space for material interactions to unfold. Oil and acrylic are layered onto the surface, where their natural resistance generates movement, dispersion, and unexpected formations. Multiple elements coexist across the canvas, allowing tension and balance to emerge organically. The result is a surface that feels both open and charged: suspended between control and unpredictability.

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.
