Mia Pearlman

I have never really experienced art like Mia Pearlman's. It's so different from the usual style of art I am attracted to. One trait I absolutely love is how her pieces have a sense of movement. The first piece shown is one of her portrayals of breath. As I look at it, I can feel someone breathing. I can see wisps of breath on a cold morning. I can see labored breathing after a run on a hot day. I can see the human lungs pulling the breath in and out. In the second piece, a cloudscape, you can see and feel the clouds swirling around you. You feel caught up in the whirlwind of something like a tornado. Her last piece I have pictured is called The Eye of a Galaxy. In that piece as well, you can see the movement of the galaxy. You can see worlds existing and coming together. It's exhilarating.

She has also given us a unique way to see science through art. I love how her subject matters are various studies of science: molecules in breath and galaxies and cloud formations as well. I love how she has the ability to make her subject matter majestic (which I think is from the sense of movement she has created). Each painting puts me in awe, and each painting gives me the feeling that I am studying something wonderful. She has filled her space and used the color in such a way that makes the pieces complete and makes me, as the viewer, feel satisfied.After viewing her artwork, I feel a closer tie to science and an appreciation for the beauty found in all aspects of the world.

I love Mia Pearlman's use of color. The three pieces I have chosen all represent color differently, but the thing I love is how the color in each piece specifically creates a sense of wholeness to the piece. The colors (or lack of) she has chosen add to the feeling and awesomeness of each piece. Her use of color is intentional, and the colors she has chosen to use are beautiful.
