mira dimitriadis
Born in Belgrade, Serbia, Mira Dimitriadis was surrounded by the powerful Byzantine iconography of the Orthodox church from a very early age. Later moving to Greece, under the tutelage of her husband's accomplished Aunt, she studied hagiography - the traditional "writing" of icons which honour the saints.
 After several decades of painting, following strict artistic guidelines dictated by centuries of monastic tradition, today Mira re-interprets classic pillars of Byzantine art giving her works a fresh, modern vernacular; elevating them from simple religious artefacts, and transforming them into striking artworks which are relevant to the here and now.
 Mira's paintings have been featured on national television in Serbia and Denmark; auctioned for charity; offered for sale in Australia; and featured in select galleries in Scandinavia. They hang in homes from New York to San Francisco, Athens, Copenhagen, Vienna, Hamburg and beyond. Mira's eye for detail and appreciation for historical convention have culminated in a collection of one-off pieces that are both covetable and in demand.
ABOUT THIS COLLECTION
For years Mira Dimitriadis has explored the time-honoured monastic tradition of painting the Saints in true Byzantine style. This collection trains its focus on centuries-old techniques, but casts a light on the shifting climate of Orthodoxy in a modern world. It examines the tipping point between rigid convention and modernity.
