Miranda Gamel
From the Ashes, Original Painting

2022

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Miranda Gamel depicts a woman rising from fire and ashes. The hazy atmosphere expands in a subtly abstract approach. The subject wears a floating gold glowing crown on her head as she leaves the flames and walks with pride toward her guiding light. Miranda layers the piece with bold acrylic colors over the dreamy application of ink washes in the background.


About the Artist
The daughter of two artists, Miranda Gamel grew up with artistic aspirations. “When I was young, I couldn’t imagine that I would be anything else… it only seemed natural,” she says. She further developed her skills with her teachers John and Elli Milan. Miranda’s paintings exist on the edge of the surreal and the fantastical while remaining grounded in human emotion. Each painting, through its dynamic imagery, conveys the spirit embodied by the composition’s subject. Miranda’s ultimate goal is to portray each individual “being their true, raw, authentic self.”
