Miren Santiago Bilbao
Miren began her work at Nahiarte in 2014. From the start, she wanted to experiment with all painting techniques. She works quickly and decisively with different mediums, leaving her hallmark lively energy. Miren’s work is based on the use of daring colours that she sometimes tones down with water and images of cartoon witches that she loves so much, reflecting her joyful, dedicated, and restless personality at every turn.
