Born in Barcelona in 1973, Mireia Serra possessed an innate passion for sculpture from a young age. Serra had launched her professional career as a lingerie designer, dedicating three years to the industry. Her journey in the fine arts began when she decided to leave her job in 1998, driven by a deep desire to expand her creative talents and find fulfillment.
In 2002, Serra
graduated from the Llotja School of Arts in Barcelona, where renowned artists
such as Antoni Gaudí, Pablo Picasso, and Joan Miró also studied. During her
time at Llotja, Serra specialized in iron and bronze sculpting, honing her
skills to become a master in the field. She later advanced her craft by taking
a sculpture portrait course taught by sculptor Jorge Egea at Museo European
d'Art Modern.
Serra's recent
works have showcased elements from the fashion world, including cameras,
textures, and detailed finishing of clothing and shoes, among others. "I make
figurative sculptures depicting contemporary everyday scenes. I try to reflect
my inner world thus expressing moods and desires, feelings, joys, and concerns
stemming from my relationship with the world. In my work, I attempt to
demonstrate how a piece of fine art sculpture could incorporate into our daily
life, linking us with art that inspires and triggers us to contemplate about
life and relationships," she says of her work.
Serra has been working as a full-time sculptor since
2003, and her works have been exhibited in galleries throughout Spain. In 2013,
she landed her first solo show and participated in her first international art
fair in Madrid. Since 2016, Serra has exhibited in galleries and art fairs
worldwide, including in Germany, Austria, France, Luxembourg, Sweden, Belgium,
Italy, and Hong Kong. Notable collectors include Kelly Clarkson.
