Born and raised in Los Angeles, Argentine-American painter Mia Araujo has long been fascinated by stories and characters, and the multi-faceted complexity that makes each person unique.
Mia believes that all individuals contain an entire universe within them, which is invisible to the naked eye. Her work concentrates on giving shape to the unseen forces within her subjects - their thoughts, memories, emotions, and complex histories. It is these qualities that fit together to form a vast, rich inner-landscape of identity and mythology for her characters.
