Curating Connections: Contemporary Art, Melbourne Inspiration & MIRA Gallery

At MIRA Gallery, we believe art is a powerful form of connection—between artists, collectors, places and experiences.

Mira Corbova Gallery has evolved into MIRA Gallery—a contemporary art space presenting emotionally engaging artworks, poetic works and curated collaborations by emerging and established artists. Our focus is on creating meaningful connections between artists, artworks and collectors through thoughtful exhibitions, conversations and experiences.

Where Blue Becomes Memory

This winter, I’m delighted to share a glimpse of our exhibition, Where Blue Becomes Memory, featuring works by myself, Alyson Hayes, and New Zealand-based artists Jed Seward and Anna Filimonova.

Anna’s latest expressive cityscape works explore the atmosphere, energy and emotional layers of urban landscapes, capturing the unique character of Sydney and Auckland. Her works are available through MIRA Gallery.

Through this exhibition, we explore the many ways colour, texture and emotion can hold memories and create a deeper connection with the viewer.

Melbourne: Inspiration Beyond the Gallery Walls

Recently, I took a short art journey to Melbourne, reconnecting with the city’s vibrant creative spirit.

I visited several beautiful galleries, explored contemporary exhibitions at NGV and ACMI, and enjoyed inspiring conversations with gallery teams about artists, exhibitions and the evolving contemporary art landscape.

Beyond the gallery walls, Melbourne continued to inspire. Wandering through the city, I discovered atmospheric laneways filled with striking street art, layered textures and unexpected moments of creativity.

These urban spaces reminded me that art exists everywhere—not only within traditional gallery spaces, but also in the streets, architecture and everyday experiences that surround us.

From colourful graffiti-covered alleyways to beautifully designed spaces where food, design and conversation come together, Melbourne offered countless reminders that creativity is woven into the fabric of a city.

Art & Emotion Collective

Alongside my own artistic practice, I am continuing to develop Art & Emotion Collective—a curated collaboration celebrating artists whose work creates emotional connection, invites reflection and tells meaningful stories.

Through selected exhibitions, art fairs and gallery pop-ups, this initiative aims to bring together artists whose practices explore the relationship between art, emotion and human experience.

As MIRA Gallery continues to evolve, I look forward to sharing more exhibitions, conversations and creative encounters with our collectors and art community.

Art is not only something we see.

It is something we feel.
