Artist Statement
Spanish artist Gala Mirissa is a quintessential digital polyglot whose work spans mediums and software but whose subject matter often remains focused on the balance of feminine strength and fragility.
Working across still and animation, digital and physical, Gala continues to expand her practice into newer mediums like projection mapping.
Woman herself is my great inspiration. She is the sufferer of History and yet embodies the most beautiful physical features. Women are fragility and strength at the same time, and it is easy to explore the world of emotions with them. We have the power to grow and fly; we have light. This is especially what I reflect in my “Painful” collection.
I’m not talking about a melodramatic woman. Woman is a sufferer, yes, but she is a fighter. My women are heroines who want to break with social stereotypes and rules.
