Mia Cavaliero is a London based painter. She studied Fine Art at Camberwell College of Art and Design and at the University of East London and later an MA in Art Psychotherapy at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Mia is initially inspired by being in landscape. She is fascinated by the colours in nature and the effect of changing light and atmospheric conditions on how we perceive them. This translates into how she works with paint, using glazes to try to recreate changing effects of light on colour. She also uses colour to express states of mind and feeling. The horizon line is a feature of her work, both as a shorthand for landscape, but also a point of separation and convergence. This contrasts with her uses of a vertical line to explore a sense of a space between. Another fascination is with veiled surfaces, and she uses layering to allude to something which is hidden.
