Miriam Loellmann is a Rio de Janeiro - based visual artist who focuses on using and combining different, often contrasting materials to make abstract geometric compositions. Since 2012 she has been developing elaborate, handcrafted processes to create vibrant artworks with her own style and technique. 

Initially, she concentrated mainly on haptic perception and experience, creating large scale artworks that emphasized touch (Copacabana Floor, 2012/13; Ipanema Wall, 2014/15).  Through these works she developed an interest in visual experience and perception of form, space and movement, as well as to create an entrance into awareness and perception of the present moment, while still intending to stimulate touch indirectly. With a strong emphasis on aesthetics, quality and authenticity, her aim is to bring beauty and sensibility into this world, and to enrich spaces and people’s daily lives. ​​​

​

Born in 1985 in Southern Germany, she grew up in a family of 7 with a strong artistic streak, where creative expression was a daily practice and was constantly encouraged by her parents and siblings. Painting and crafting have always been a natural way for her to express herself. 

Miriam Loellmann studied Textile and Surface Design at the KHB Weißensee Art School in Berlin. She discovered her current working style in 2010 while studying with the Japanese visiting professor Masayo Ave, through whom Miriam Loellmann understood the importance of sensory perception, which became central to the development of her work and significantly influenced her artistic direction.

In late 2013, seven months after graduating, Miriam Loellmann decided to move to Rio de Janeiro to establish her studio and artist career from the ground up. Since then, she has been working as an independent artist, motivated by unconventional ways and open to experimentation.​
