website romanian artist Mimi Revencu Art acrylic on canvas these days most often reflects alienation, desperation, violence, loneliness, old age and death. But art is a dynamic field, always looking to rediscover and reinvent itself. It is time to express something new in art, something related to our deep essence, universal and optimistic, separated from the daily madness. It is time for the artist to call for a change of attitude and spirit, bringing to life the present and not only reflecting the world around. I believe that art in general is meant to be perceived as inside vibration. And Mirabilis is pure inner vibration at its best. The Mirabilis artist depicts impressions and mental images that do not pass through the filter of a mental process. They are rather the product of his instincts. The images are featuring bright colours, lots of green hues and pink, no grays tones and almost no use of black paint. Colours are applied side-by-side with as little mixing as possible, creating a simplified, vibrant surface. Objects and beings are mostly flat but they are disposed in different layers and transparency of thin paint films is used in order to obtain deepness of space. There are surfaces in full light and shadow but beings and objects cast no shadow. I was told that my work is full of energy and this energy is transferred to the viewer. I was surprised to hear that. But then more and more people told me the same thing, most of the times spontaneously. On my canvases, some elements are schematically represented, like a simple clue, and others are full of details. It is a world of colour. And the works appear as an escape in a balanced, deep and optimistic world in which the viewer charges with energy. It is what we are all looking for. When I paint, I feel that kind of serenity that one experiences mostly in their childhood, when they don’t have the worries of adult age. This way, my work becomes necessarily candid and this feeling is transferred to the viewer. I am not the only one thinking and painting differently. I already saw other artists who’s works contain some of the Mirabilist vision elements. Therefore, I propose to crystallize this artistic vision in a distinct current. ART Mirabilism is the lively art that vibrates. It sticks to your mind. And it is the candid art that brings you in a candid reality. wom en
