Painter and abstractionist Mira (Mirjana) Maodus, a French artist of Serbian-Russian origin, shares her time between Paris, Tokyo and Belgrade. She was born in 1942 in an Italian military camp in Medak (in the Balkans).
The artist spent her youth in Belgrade, the current capital of Serbia. From an early age, Mira Maodus had a natural inclination for art.
In 1965, the artist decided to leave Belgrade in search of her artistic path. She first studied at the Werkkunstschule in Frankfurt (1965/1968), at the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Venice (1969/1972) and at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts in Paris (1972/1975).
Thanks to her travels to Japan, where she lived for seven years, the artist explored the study of calligraphy as an art form.
In her career as an artist, two periods are identifiable, a first period where she painted like the New Fauves, in a "Matissian" sobriety, and a second period where she found her true path. Since her arrival in Paris in the 1970s, she has been moving towards abstraction by juxtaposing touches of color and playing only with chromatism. Words, ideograms, Cyrillic characters, numbers are born again in dreamlike forms. A complex superposition of forms and codes, in an intense alchemy.
Since 1973 the artist has participated in several group and solo exhibitions in private galleries and museums in France, Serbia, Japan, Italy, Russia, Switzerland, Great Britain, the United States and Canada.
Her works are in the permanent collection of the National Museum in Belgrade (Serbia), Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade, Museum of Modern Art Banja Luka (Boznia), Trebinje Museum (Hercegovina) and Miyagi Museum of Art in Sendai (Japan).
