Born in Chile, P.X. Miranda has lived in Italy since 1999. She was awarded a scholarship to Davidson College and graduated from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, where she won several prizes for her highly regarded oil paintings. Fascinated by history and its notable figures, she uses literature, poetry, and music as inspiration for her paintings.
Medieval tapestry, Renaissance portraiture, the Arts and Crafts Movement, and William Morris designs also underpin her works. She combines these elements in her pieces to create images that have a timeless quality resembling a sort of puzzle. P. X. Miranda paintings unapologetically embrace nature and beauty. To aspire to harmony and beauty in one's work is a powerful message, which is clearly seen and celebrated in the works she creates.
"My work has always searched for a union between the form created by human beings across the times and the diverse creatus forms; the divine form, so to say, nature. Is that harmony, that beauty that creates itself that interests me and the one I look for; that something that makes clear the unicity of the whole."
