Mia Muratori

Artist Biography:
Mia Muratori was born in Heidelberg, Germany. She studied painting at the Art Students League in New York with Robert Beauchamps, ceramics at the Ceramics Institute in Faenza, Italy and received her MFA from the University of Delaware. Muratori exhibits nationally and internationally. Her work reflects thoughts on the evolution of consciousness, the construction, destruction and reconstruction of popular myth and symbols and the understanding of universal themes.

Artist Statement:
For me, artmaking is the documentation of what I see and seek to understand. Watching, synthesizing, recording, I lay it all down with paint, no words, just light, color, shape and space.
