Ihor Miroshnycnenko, known as Miro, was born in 1960 and lives and works in Germany. His artistic career began unexpectedly in 2018, when he placed a blank sheet of paper in front of him and drew his first line out of simple curiosity. This initial exploration quickly transformed into a true passion for drawing, a medium that he explores today with great intensity. Miro works primarily with acrylic on canvas, ink on paper and gouache on paper, cultivating a distinctive style marked by surrealism and expressionism.
His work is deeply influenced by artists such as Francisco Goya, James Ensor, Emil Nolde and Ronald Brooks Kitaj. What characterizes his work is a fascination with the grotesque and the caricature, often expressed through unconventional or unattractive characters and abnormal scenes. Miro attributes this trend to the unsettling influence of our modern world, where he perceives an atmosphere of darker days to come. His drawings thus reflect an exploration of the darkest aspects of the human condition, capturing emotions and visions that question and provoke.
