Aída Miró: Tribute Paintings at the Roll Up Gallery

Arts.  San Francisco, 11/01/2018

Using a combination of spraypaint, acrylics, and oil paint, Aída Miró has created portraits of Michael Jackson, James Brown, David Bowie, Jimmy Hendrix, Erikah Badu, Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, Mos Def, Jay Z, as well as Basquiat, Picasso and Frida Kalho.




Aída Miró's series of paintings created at live art events in NYC pay tribute to musicians and artists. All of these have been painted with the energy of an NYC crowd during live music performances including DJs and dancers, with the audience observing the entire process and the challenge of foregoing the intimacy of being alone in the studio.

Aída Miró is an Ibiza-born artist living and working in NYC. She started painting in the streets in the early '90s. She has a BA in Fine Arts from the Universitat Politècnica de Valencia, a postgraduate degree in Theater Design from the University of Bristol (UK), and PhD in Art Education from the Autonomous University of Madrid. Her work is strongly influenced by music and dance. Her art has been exhibited internationally in cities such as Paris, Mexico City, Oaxaca, Naples, Hamburg, Bristol, NYC, San Francisco, Barcelona, Madrid, and Ibiza. She won the NYC Art Battle during its 15-year anniversary in December 2016.
