Episode 15: A Colour Full Life - Mira Corbova

Mira Corbova is an artist first and foremost, as well as being an art gallery owner working with many artists. Mira grew up in Slovakia (then part of a Communist Czechoslovakia) with many restrictions and in a strict household with little room for self-expression. As a very young child, with a physically and emotionally abusive father, she found solace in art and nature, a place to escape. At the age of eleven, her teacher, who obviously saw her potential as an artist, put her work into an international competition, and she won. Her passion for creativity, combined with the knowledge that she had some talent, led to a lifelong passion for Mira.

After moving to England to study and start afresh, she met her partner and moved back to his homeland, New Zealand, where Mira found the inspiration to live her dream and open her own art gallery.

In this episode, Mira talks about her childhood and the life that shaped who she has become, as well as her passion, art. She feels that creating art is an expressive means to channel energy with positive emotions that reflect a higher vision within. She believes in the healing power of art, so much so, she delivers art therapy workshops. Mira describes her art as an emotional conversation through colour and shape, a tangible expression of her soul. Her aim as an artist and art dealer is to inspire, encourage, and connect everyone through creativity, and to help people to realise the immense value and importance of art.

In this open and heartfelt episode, we hear the story of a little girl, who missed out on on a typical childhood, growing up in a strict environment and having to look after her family, but found an escape in the colourful world of art.
