Spring, Light & Colour ♡

Reflections from the Gallery Curator

Let art move you beautifully, honestly, and deeply.

As the light softens and colour gently returns to the world, we find ourselves in a season of quiet reawakening.

Life is short but beautiful if you can understand it … Life is a blank canvas — sometimes bold, sometimes quiet.

And sometimes, escaping into the city’s vibrant lights makes you feel alone… yet somehow more alive.

Every moment is a brushstroke in the art of living. The city’s glow can leave us solitary — but in that solitude, the heart beats louder, colours shine brighter, and we feel vividly alive.

Life is art. The city lights dazzle. In their glow, solitude awakens you — and makes you alive.

Spring, to me, is more than a change in weather — it’s a return to the senses. A gentle invitation to slow down, notice more, and respond to the world with renewed curiosity. It’s a time of colour, vitality, and the invisible energy that stirs us forward. A fresh beginning.

This Spring is also personally significant: it marks my first year in Australia since relocating my gallery and home to Sydney — a city that has become my happy place, full of positivity and joy. My art is where my heart is.

At Mira Corbova Art Gallery, we’re embracing this season of renewal with vibrant new works, soulful curation, and a gentle reminder: now is the perfect moment to surround yourself with what feels alive.

Visit the Gallery

This Spring, I warmly invite you to visit the gallery — currently open to the public on Thursdays, 11 am – 4 pm, or by private appointment at a time that suits you.

Looking Ahead

This year, I’m focusing on art fairs and new art collections, while also planning a special Christmas event to close the year - to celebrate our first wonderful year in Australia since relocating last Spring.

Christmas Soirée & Celebration Exhibition

December · Details to follow

This festive gathering will bring together art, poetry, and community — a moment to celebrate creativity, connection, and the close of a vibrant year.

Spring Cleaning for the Soul

Each spring, I find myself moving artworks around my home and studio — not just for aesthetics, but to shift the energy. It’s a kind of inner and outer spring cleaning. I often recommend it to collectors as well: refresh your space, listen to what moves you now.

Art isn’t static. Like us, it evolves. And sometimes, we need new pieces — new energies — to reflect who we are becoming.

Famous artists throughout history have drawn deeply from the seasons. Claude Monet, for example, painted his gardens at Giverny again and again, responding to the changing light with new brushstrokes and palettes. Hilma af Klint’s spiritual works mirrored nature’s geometry and regenerative force. And Mark Rothko, though abstract, captured emotional seasons through colour, light, and depth.

Just like nature, abstract artists often feel more than they see. Our work is intuitive, emotional, and rooted in atmosphere and energy. Colours are feelings — and how we place them is often a reflection of our inner climate.

So let your walls breathe this season. Let them hold stories of who you are now.

New Works & Seasonal Inspiration

In my own practice, spring has inspired a shift in palette. My 2025 art collection, Wellness Whispers, is unfolding in warmer hues — Indian yellow, soft greens, glowing pinks, and glimmers of my signature iridescent gold. Though I rarely use blue, this season I fell in love with phthalo turquoise, and soft, Payne’s grey has become my new black.

These works are layered with stillness, presence, and healing. Created during quiet, introspective days, each piece offers a gentle yet vibrant invitation to reconnect with the self.

A Painting for Stillness: Tranquillity and Solitude

One of the most beloved pieces in the gallery is Tranquillity, from my Liberty Collection. I painted it during a time when stillness was not only welcomed — it was needed.

With soft blending and a rhythmic, side-to-side brushstroke, the painting came to life. A white light rises through the centre, like a symbol of home and inner peace. Viewers often tell me they see a woman resting on a swing in a heavenly garden. I see it too — and every time I look at this piece, I feel calm return.

Its sister painting, Solitude, followed soon after — glowing with deep reds, soft pinks, iridescent gold, and delicate gold leaf. Both works are currently available — waiting for a collector who recognises their quiet power.

For Art Lovers Near & Far

Whether you’re local to Sydney or further afield, you’re warmly welcome.

We offer local and international shipping, and are happy to provide a complimentary Dress My Wall mock-up to help you visualise how a work might look in your space. We want this process to feel simple, personal, and inspiring.

This season, may you feel the soft spark of renewal — and the warmth of the sun calling you outdoors and inward at once. May you find yourself drawn to new light, fresh colour, and meaningful beauty. And may you discover something — a painting, a poem, a quiet moment — that helps you remember:

You are not just observing spring…

You are part of its unfolding.

We look forward to welcoming you to Mira Corbova Art Gallery this Spring.

With light and colour,

Mira Corbova
