Eastern philosophy teaches that a whole Universe lives inside each person, complex, diverse and intricate. Hardly anyone can solve this mystery, but you can at least try to get closer to it, as Michelle Araujo, an artist from Los Angeles, did in her paintings.
In his paintings, Michel Araudo, or simply Mia (Mia), seeks to capture those invisible forces that constantly interact with a person - spirits, conflicting emotions, inner demons, imagination. The result is a surreal mixture of a series of images rich in detail, through which Mia tries to convey different facets of her characters' personalities, their personality traits and their own myths.
The artist says that she begins her work by writing on paper a number of words that come to her mind, and based on this list, she is determined with the plot of the future picture. First, Mia draws the main figure, and then she finishes the small details, the "inner world", and she does it spontaneously, without defining their place in advance. The artist does not recognize drafts, and her first drawing is always the only one. Mia admits that every element of her paintings hides some kind of mystery even for herself, and various details form a new meaning, which she did not even suspect at first.
Mia loves to listen to how her sisters or other viewers interpret her paintings. She admits that strangers have a much more interesting vision of her images than herself.
Mia's paintings contain many details that can be viewed for hours. To create such magical and intricate images, the artist is inspired by the films of Tim Barton and Hayao Miyazaki, Walt Disney cartoons, paintings by Gustav Klimt, fairy tales, vintage photographs, music, literature, animation.
More fabulous works by the young artist can be seen on her website.
