Mira Varg is a multidisciplinary artist, her work ranging from photography through printmaking, illustration, installation and sculptures.
For her bachelor studies, she undertook Photography course where she first started to experiment with the darkroom and fell in love with the magic of analogue photography. Because of her interest in science behind the art of photography she continued her studies at Central Saint Martins where she studied Ma Art and Science. Since then she has expanded her practice across many different disciplines.
She believes in combining crafts and that if you have the need to create you can't stick to just one medium. Mira’s work can be described as visual ideas coming from surrealism, symbolism and the bauhaus. In her work, she combines an autobiographical reflection of her reality and dreams. You can also clearly see her interest in neuroscience, altered states of consciousness, underground clubbing scene and nature.
Varg collaborates with musicians, scientists, she has exhibited all across Europe, in galleries such as Somerset House and more.
