Ana Miralles is a female Catalan painter who has been inspired by her native land, and by her visits to museums (Spanish and foreign) where she has found stimulus and answers to her artistic restlessness. The first influences on her were the abstract and color of Zobel and the forms of Frankethales. Neither of these artists, however, left a lasting or marked influence on her. Since then, she has become interested in painting things close to her, such as realistic landscapes and her no less remarkable still lifes (resembling those of Monardi) in which everyday items (china pots, bottles, a glass, a withered flower) are transformed through her artistic flair and intuitive wit, poetic and almost dream-like. This is how the painter represents the essence of those things closest to us.
