Mira Kurkiala - Artist

A new collection will be released soon!

A common theme for the entire collection is that all paintings are painted with only natural pigments from earth, stones, ash and coal. The binder used in the paint is also completely plant-based.

Advance purchase of art prints is possible for a limited number of days when a painting has just been completed.

Paintings of natural pigments

I pick stones, earth, clay, charcoal and ash to create my own pigments for my paintings.

I work the stones with hammer, mortar and sieve the powder until it is fine enough to use as pigment for paint. I then add a binder and the millions of old stones are given new life as color in my art.

"Earth pigments are not lifeless rocks. They are constantly circulating, they are mysterious metamorphic agents of art made by complex ecologies, biomes, volcanoes, extinct creatures, fault lines, sea-floors, swamps, deserts, fertile soils, and dead people and their living waste." - Heidi Gustafson
