view into the artists studio located on the 11th floor, very close to the Avendida Atlântica in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro. this is the place, where Miriam Loellmannn spents most of her time and absorbs the light and the sea air into her eye and mind and hand. at the end of 2013 she emigrated from Berlin to Rio de Janeiro with the mission to focus mainly on her artistic work and calling and express the inner beauty that is very vivid within her into her artworks.

earlier works and approaches

​

​

between 2012 and 2015, Miriam Loellmann concentrates on large-scale and size specific artworks for interiors. her main focus is on sensory perception, especially the sense of touch. she creates compositions of tiles she makes herself, looking for contrast and enabling a dialogue within the elements of the piece and with those who come in contact with them. this interplay of components leads to a very sensorial experience, rather than a statically designed surface.
