Mirano

Mirano is an abstract painter whose work is profoundly shaped by his life along the Florida coast. Drawing inspiration from the ever-shifting tides, submerged flora, and the emotional pull of the sea, Mirano creates expressive, fluid compositions that blur the line between natural observation and personal reflection. His use of translucent layering, gestural linework, and evocative color palettes reflects a deep, lived relationship with ocean environments—both tranquil and tumultuous. Rather than directly depict the sea, Mirano channels its rhythms, using paint like water: pooling, flowing, bleeding, and evaporating. Each canvas becomes a tidepool of memory, sensation, and organic form—where abstraction serves as a vessel for intimacy and atmosphere. 

Some paintings with a  luminous, immersive composition in shades of blue and white, evoking the depths of the sea and underwater flora. Organic petal-like forms float and drift, suggesting movement, contrast, and the layered nature of marine ecosystems. Others are a celebration of color and buoyancy,  recall floating jellyfish, fish eggs, or refracted light in shallow coastal waters. With a playful, almost musical arrangement of yellow, red, and blue, Reflection embodies spontaneity and wonder—like a child’s first encounter with tide pools. Or  explore emotional tension and longing through earthy marine tones—burnt orange, sandy beige, and stormy grays. Suggesting coral reefs, mollusk shells, or shadows beneath waves, it conjures a sense of quiet intensity. A balance of softness and structure gives it both intimacy and depth.
