PAINTINGS
My paintings explore the beauty of the incidental. I compose still lifes using packaging, torn paper, withered bouquets or toys - elements that may initially seem insignificant or even worthless. Precisely through their combination a tension arises between aesthetics and transience, between order and chaos. I am fascinated by the rupture between the beautiful and the seemingly ugly, the play with materiality and meaning. I seek to make the impossible visible by staging objects that would otherwise go unnoticed.

ABOUT
Myriam Quiel's paintings depict carefully composed scenes - still lifes or sometimes a fusion of still life elements with photographs and portraits. Her works capture the tension between beauty and decay, the everyday and the surreal.
Recently she has started incorporating AI-generated sketches and designs into her creative process, using them as inspiration to explore new visual possibilities in her oil paintings. This interplay between traditional techniques and digital tools allows her to push the boundaries of her artistic expression and develop unique compositions that challenge perception.
