Mirku is an autodidact and emerging visual artist from Cologne, Germany. It was here where mirku got first in touch with surrealism, as Max Ernst was born in Brühl, a small city close to Cologne. But what especially has been influencing mirku's work and worldview is the feminist surrealism by artists such as Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo. This fascination is connected to Mexico, an entirely surrealist country in so many aspects, where the artist lived for two years What mirku wants to capture is the beauty, banality and brutality of the everyday, the natural world as well as the human body in motion The artist’s favorite materials are watercolor in all its expressions and ink
