Online Artist-In-Residency at
Mirela Fioresy has been selected for the GlogauAir Berlin Online Residency Program, taking place from October to December 2025.
During this residency, she joins artists from eight different countries, engaging in a collective exchange of artistic research and experimentation. The program provides a space for dialogue and development, allowing Mirela Fioresy to expand her practice while connecting with an international network of contemporary artists.
At the end of the program, GlogauAir will host an Open Studio online exhibition, where each artist will present the outcomes of their residency process. Mirela Fioresy’s work will be shared publicly as part of this presentation.
THE PROJECT
'Water and Oil Don't MIX'
‘Water and Oil Don’t Mix’ is both the title and the premise of this project. One of the first rules we learn in painting becomes my starting point; in this project I layer oil and liquid acrylic on the same ground and let their refusal to blend steer the work, as pigments push, repel, and settle into unplanned forms. The collision is both process and meaning, a study of tension, separation, and uneasy coexistence. The outcome is a series of mixed-media paintings and brief process videos, a meditation on contradiction and a fragile truce between opposites.
