‘Water and Oil Don’t Mix 5’ in a Curated Collection by Zoe MN

‘Water and Oil Don’t Mix 5’ in a Curated Collection by Zoe MN

by | Art News, Curated Collections

“Water and Oil Don't Mix 5” was selected for the following curated collection:

Tumulte chromatique

‘At the heart of a wild, lush natural world, biodiversity unfolds in joyful chaos. Between meticulous details and bursts of pigment, this exhibition celebrates the plurality of life. A vibrant sensory experience that reveals the full richness and complexity of our natural world.’

ORIGINAL

‘Au cœur d’une nature sauvage et foisonnante, la biodiversité s’exprime en un joyeux chaos. Entre détails minutieux et explosions de pigments, cette exposition célèbre la pluralité du vivant. Une expérience sensorielle vibrante qui révèle toute la richesse et la complexité de notre monde naturel.’

Curated collection by Zoe MN (Paris, France) for Singulart Platform.

WATER AND OIL DON'T MIX

“Water and Oil Don’t Mix” is both the title and the guiding principle of this project. Mirela Fioresy takes a fundamental lesson from painting – that oil and acrylic will never blend – and transforms it into a method for discovery. By layering these materials on a single surface, she allows their resistance to guide the outcome, watching pigments push, repel, and settle into surprising organic forms. This encounter becomes both process and metaphor, capturing moments of tension, separation, and uneasy coexistence.

‘Time for Help 2’ in a Curated Collection by Chaltiel Attali

‘Time for Help 2’ in a Curated Collection by Chaltiel Attali

by | Art News, Curated Collections

“Time for Help Vietnam 2” was selected for the following curated collection:

‘Man is condemned to be free’

“Inspired by Jean-Paul Sartre’s famous quote, this curation explores the human condition in all its complexity. Between lightness and gravity, solitude and community, each work reflects the inner tensions of existence: the injunction to choose, to position oneself, to define oneself. The paintings and drawings gathered here reveal introspective figures, anonymous crowds seen from above, and suspended gestures.

They convey the beauty and sometimes the violence of our freedom: the freedom that forces us to invent our own meaning, to confront the vertigo of choice, but also to create our own path. This exhibition is an invitation to face up to our responsibilities, but also to celebrate the creative force within our freedom. As if each painting became a mirror of our own decisions, our impulses, and our doubts.

Curated collection by Chaltiel Attali (Attaly) for Singulart Platform. 

TIME FOR HELP SERIES

The artwork featured in this curated collection is from the Time for Help series. This series portrays children from orphanages in Vietnam and Nepal, using personal photographic references as starting points. Through painting, I reimagine their presence by negotiating absence and presence within the composition.

White space refers to gaps and interruptions in their early lives, while also suggesting potential: what remains open and unresolved. Color emphasizes an inherent vitality and inner life – qualities intrinsic to childhood – even under constrained or adverse conditions.

Water and Oil Don’t Mix: GlogauAir Artist-In-Residency Project

by | Art Residencies

Mirela Fioresy

Mirela Fioresy is a visual artist whose work explores the invisible forces that shape how we see ourselves and each other. Through painting and mixed media she focuses on what brings us together and what keeps us apart, examining how our environments, beliefs, and emotions shape both personal experience and the wider collective consciousness.  

For her GlogauAIR residency, Fioresy introduces “Water and Oil Don’t Mix” as both the title and the guiding principle of her project. She takes a fundamental lesson from painting – that oil and acrylic will never blend – and transforms it into a method for discovery. By layering these materials on a single surface, she allows their resistance to guide the outcome, watching pigments push, repel, and settle into surprising organic forms. This encounter becomes both process and metaphor, capturing moments of tension, separation, and uneasy coexistence. 

Open Studio visitors will encounter a series of paintings alongside process videos produced during the residency. By witnessing these evolving surfaces and the boundaries they reveal, Fioresy invites reflection on the fragile truces we negotiate in life. Rather than  offering easy resolution, her work asks us to consider how we must continually learn to coexist, sharing the same space even when differences remain, and recognizing that navigating these divisions is part of our shared human experience.

“Water and Oil Don’t Mix 1”, 2025, 70×100 cm, Oil and Acrylic on Canvas

“Water and Oil Don’t Mix 2”, 2025, 50×70 cm, Oil and Acrylic on Canvas

“Water and Oil Don’t Mix 3”, 2025, 70×100 cm, Oil and Acrylic on Canvas

“Water and Oil Don’t Mix 4”, 2025, 70×100 cm, Oil and Acrylic on Canvas

“Water and Oil Don’t Mix 5”, 2025, 70×100 cm, Oil and Acrylic on Canvas

“Water and Oil Don’t Mix 6”, 2025, 70×100 cm, Oil and Acrylic on Canvas

In a second phase of the project, Fioresy uses a separatory funnel to mix water and oil in a vessel rather than directly on the canvas. She repeats the dripping process, allowing the liquids to separate and fall as controlled drips that form unexpected patterns and enrich the surface with texture. Through this approach, she explores the same interactions present in her layered paintings, now expressed through movement and the gradual build-up of marks guided by the funnel’s slow release.

Berlin Art Residency: Mirela Fioresy at GlogauAir Online Program

Berlin Art Residency: Mirela Fioresy at GlogauAir Online Program

by | Art News, Art Residencies

Brazilian contemporary artist Mirela Fioresy begins a new research phase as part of the GlogauAir Berlin Online Residency Program.

Mirela Fioresy

Online Artist-In-Residency at
VIEW PROFILE

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.
