Between Memory and Dream
MIELIS creates atmospheric original paintings inspired by the memory of a landscape, as it felt, softened by time into light, color, and atmosphere.Each work is an invitation to slow down,breathe, and let the mind rest in color and light.
The Art of Slow Layers
Working in oil paint and oil pastels on canvas, wooden boards, and paper, MIELIS builds each piece slowly, layer by layer.In some works, sheets of delicate rice paper are laid into the surface between layers of paint, their translucent veils softening what lies beneath and catching the light.Gestures are blended and reworked until the surface feels both fragile and full of movement, images seem to shift and glow as you look at them.There is no fixed horizon, just atmosphere, mood, and the pull of somewhere you haven’t yet been.

Light from an Ancient Island
An American artist living in Sicily, MIELIS paints surrounded by the Mediterranean: its generous light, its contrasts, its sense of time moving differently.
That light finds its way into every piece, turning each painting into a small escape to enrich your space.

OIL PAINTINGS ON WOOD
Painting in oil on wood is a tactile, technical choice rooted in artistic tradition.
Long before stretched canvas, early Flemish and Italian masters entrusted their finest glazes to oak, poplar, or linden.
This dialogue between organic wood and the slow alchemy of oil makes the surface an active part of the artwork.
