Miron Schmückle

Miron Schmückle was born in 1966 in Sibiu, Romania, and currently lives and works in Berlin. His preoccupation with the study of nature, flora and fauna form the starting point for his work in painting and photography. From 1991 to 1996, he studied at the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts in Kiel (Germany). In 1994, he took part in a Marina Abramovic course at the HFBK in Hamburg. In 2014, he created the sets and costumes for La flûte enchantée and Othello in 2017, both directed by Patrick Schlösser for the Stadttheater Klagenfurt. In 2016, after studying the cabinet miniatures of Joris Hoefnagel (1542-1600), he received his doctorate in from the Institute of Art Studies at the Muthesius – Kunsthochschule in Kiel.
 
Miron Schmückle’s delicate paintings and their Latin titles, trick the viewer to fall for the pre-conceived idea that they are something they are not. Hidden behind apparent botanical illustrations, the beauty of nature presents itself in the paintings in its most pure state, only to let the viewer discover through observation, that the plant-like elements depicted are fruit of the artist’s imagination. Schmückle exaggerates the beauty of nature, creating artificial life with flowers that don’t belong to the Earth. The colours merge delicately within the shapes that enclose them. Applied on the surface, the Indian ink reproduces the vivid shades found in jungles and forests. Miron Schmückle’s work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Germany and abroad, and is part of several public and private art collections.
