The Shape of Silence

Artist overview

Born in Rishikesh and raised between the Ganges and the Himalayas, Mira Dev paints what cannot be explained: longing, release, and the invisible architecture of the soul. Her works are quiet meditations—philosophical watercolor inquiries into the nature of self, impermanence, and inner silence. With a background in Sanskrit philosophy and classical dance, Mira bridges movement and stillness through every brushstroke. Her technique blends ancient spiritual motifs with contemporary abstraction, resulting in ethereal pieces often described as 'visual mantras.' Collectors and curators alike are drawn to the simplicity and emotional depth of her work, which resonates across cultural lines and spiritual traditions. Each painting is intended not to decorate a wall, but to open a door inside the viewer.
