Mira Moonen, born in Sri Lanka in 1982, has pink and red as her favourite colours. However, this preference is not really reflected in her paintings. She is rather restrained in her use of colours. The powerful, primary colours are missing. Mira is probably looking for a moderate harmony of non- contrasting colours, such as different shades of blue or green, but soft and understated.

Even when choosing a theme, it is not easy to get a clear picture of her preferences or what she wants to tell us. Animals, flowers, elephants, a juggler, a clown, a party. Everyday things in a recognisable setting. There is a great variety of motifs, built up from different layers and levels of colour, filling the entire surface.
Fantasy and reality are interwoven and everything is depicted on a flat surface: There is no perspective.

It is joyful and colourful. She does not have to prove her artistic qualities, because they are quite obvious. There is less dynamic in the illustrations; everything gives a calm, restrained personality that strives for harmony through the quiet structure of her work.
