About
Mireia Serra creates sensuous sculptures which capture the moments of contemplation often encountered on one's life journey. Her little artworks capture the beauty of introspective moments: A young lady challenged by the adventure of a new trip, a young man dreaming of his future, a little girl lost in thought. Mireia's sculptures demonstrate the impact of art in our daily life. Mireia's pensive figures inspire and captivate the viewer. The sculptress aptly describes her work as, “Figurative sculptures depicting contemporary everyday scenes. Reflecting my inner world thus expressing moods and desires, feelings, joys and concerns stemming from my relationship with the world".

Born in Barcelona in 1973, Mireia Serra aimed to be a sculptor from a young age, but her parents persuaded her to study fashion design instead.
In 1995 she graduated in fashion design and started her professional career as a lingerie designer. In 1998, she dropped her well-paid job because she wanted to expand her creative talent and find happiness through broader artistic expression. She decided to start from zero and go back to her initial ambition of becoming a sculptor. In many of her sculptures there is a presence of elements from the fashion world such as cameras and the detailed finishing of figures' clothing.
She graduated in 2002 from the Llotja School of Arts in Barcelona (the same school that took under its wing Antoni Gaudí, Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró), with a specialization in iron and bronze. Later she took an advanced sculpture portrait course taught by sculptor Jorge Egea at MEAM (Museo European d'Art Modern) in order to fully master her technique.
Serra has been working as a full-time sculptor since 2003. She started to exhibit with galleries throughout Spain and landed her first solo shows and her first international art fair in Madrid in 2013. Since 2016 Mireia Serra has been exhibited in galleries and art fairs in Germany, Austria, France, Luxembourg, Sweden, Belgium, Italy, and Hong Kong. Her works have been represented by Artspace Warehouse since 2017.
