About the Item
Mireia Serra's little figurative bronze sculptures capture feelings and sensations of day to day lives. She transforms everyday dilemmas into something beautiful that captures the beauty of a moment: women taking their time to decide at a crossroads of their life, men enjoying their moments of relaxation, small pleasures, moments of pause, little epiphanies of loneliness... Behind a precise description of reality, there is a meditated story, which each one can read his own way...
This wall-mounted bronze and iron sculpture is easily installed on the wall with nails.
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 in the fine arts arena. She decided to start from zero and go back to her initial ambition of becoming a sculptor.
In some of her present sculptures the presence of elements from the fashion world such as cameras, texture, detailed finishing of the clothes and shoes are apparent.
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), specializing 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 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, the US and Hong Kong.

Mireia Serra
Abandoning her well-paying fashion career to pursue sculpture was undoubtedly a courageous and challenging decision for artist Mireia Serra in 1998.
The Barcelona-born Serra dreamt of making art at a young age but faced pressures from her family to choose a more traditionally stable career path. She completed her studies in fashion design in the mid-1990s and went on to work in lingerie, managing the Intima Cherry, Gemma and Silhouette labels.
Serra subsequently pivoted toward art and began to study sculpture, graduating in 2002 from the Llotja School of Arts. There, where Pablo Picasso and Antoni Gaudí had taken classes before her, Serra specialized in iron and bronze work. Later she expanded upon her technical training with advanced portrait sculpture studies under Jorge Egea at the European Museum of Modern Art.
Serra’s withdrawal from the fashion world was not a complete departure, as she often finds ways to integrate into her figurative sculptures compelling allusions to the work that characterized her prior career. She creates slender human forms perched atop globes or sprawled out on shelves, each of them clad in tasteful albeit monochrome apparel. Their ensembles get meticulous attention — note how the ends of slim-cut pant legs sit on the tops of detailed sneakers or the main compartment of a contemporary backpack is given precise texture as if its exterior is made of quilted lambskin leather.
The 2013 International Art Fair in Madrid was the first solo show for Serra, and she has had multiple exhibitions at art fairs and galleries all over Europe since then. She has been represented by Artspace Warehouse since 2017.

Captivated - Serene Inspiring Figurative Abstract Bronze Iron Wall Sculpture
By Mireia Serra
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Mireia Serra creates sensuous bronze and iron sculptures showing the beauty of snapshots caught in life, which are full of emotions and feelings along the life journey. Her metal artworks capture the beauty of moments: A young lady challenged by the adventure of a new trip, a young man pondering about his dreams, a lost girl thinking about different options to know more about herself…Mireia vividly demonstrates how a piece of fine art sculpture could be incorporated into our daily life, linking us with art that inspires and triggers us to contemplate life and relationship. Serra describes her artistic vision as “Figurative sculptures depicting contemporary everyday scenes. Reflect my inner world thus expressing moods and desires, feelings, joys and concerns stemming from my relationship with the world".
This wall-mounted iron and bronze sculpture measures 5 inches tall, 9.5 inches wide, and 1 inch deep. This artwork is edition 14 of 18. A certificate of authenticity issued by the gallery is included. Convenient local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and international shipping are available.
Born in Barcelona in 1973, Mireia Serra's lifelong passion for sculpting was temporarily diverted by her parents' persuasion to pursue a career in fashion design. However, in 1998, she abandoned a lucrative role as a lingerie designer to follow her artistic calling and seek true fulfillment within the realm of fine arts. It was a transformative decision, allowing her to rediscover her true purpose and embark on a creative odyssey that continues to unfold to this day. In some of her present sculptures, the presence of elements from the fashion world such as cameras, texture, and detailed finishing of the clothes, and shoes are apparent.
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), specializing 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 master her technique.
Working as a full-time sculptor since 2003, Serra started to exhibit with galleries throughout Spain and landed her first solo shows and her first international art fair in Madrid in 2013. Her works have been represented by Artspace Warehouse since 2017. Since 2016 Mireia Serra has been exhibited in galleries and art fairs in Germany, Austria, France, Luxembourg, Sweden, Belgium, Italy, and Hong Kong.
