Miryana Mihaylova

Miryana Mihaylova is a multidisciplinary artist working in ceramics, sculpture and drawings.

Her art is ever changing and evolving but always remains rooted in aspects of earth, clay and glaze. Presently she is dabbling in abstract watercolors and drawings as a way to express emotions and psychological conditions via two dimensional “events” in color and shape. Guided by her long pedigree as a ceramic artist, inspired by the freedom of experimental music, informed by different ideas, including dreams, Miryana navigates experiments in unpredictability, letting watercolors emerge as a juxtaposition between vibrant colors and darkness.

Miryana comes from one of the ancient craft centers of Southern Europe, where the secrets of pottery making have been passed around since time immemorial through the Thracian, Byzantine and Ottoman stylistics that have amalgamated with modernity to form her unique approach.

Miryana currently lives in Massachusetts with her family and continues to follow her passion for arts. In 2021-2022 she was an Artist in Residence at Worcester Center for Crafts where she produced works in ceramics and watercolors some of which were exhibited at Krikorian Gallery, Worcester.

Currently she is a ceramic instructor at New Art Center in Newton.
