Mia Cavaliero

Mia Cavaliero is initially inspired by being in landscape. She is fascinated by the colours in nature and the effect of changing light and atmospheric conditions on how we perceive them. This translates into how she works with paint, using glazes to try to recreate changing effects of light on colour. She also uses colour to express states of mind and feeling. The horizon line is a feature of her work, both as a shorthand for landscape, but also a point of separation and convergence. This contrasts with her uses of a vertical line to explore a sense of a space between. Another fascination is with veiled surfaces, and she uses layering to allude to something which is hidden.

Mia studied Fine Art at Camberwell College of Art and Design and at the University of East London, she later obtained an MA in Art Psychotherapy at Goldsmiths, University of London. Her work is held in private collections throughout the UK.

In 2004, Juliana Cavaliero and Debra Finn curated their first exhibition as Cavaliero Finn in a home in South London and they haven't looked back since.

For this exhibition, Cavaliero Finn returned to its South London roots to celebrate its 20th birthday at Stockwell Studio. The exhibition featured a wide range of artists who have shown with the gallery over the last 20 years including work by our current portfolio of artists and work from some of our earlier artists, like painters Holly Frean, Daisy Cook and Caroline Popham, paper artist Thurle Wright, designer makers Sam Edkins and Deborah Bowness, and sculptors Tom Stogdon, Danuta Solowiej, Merete Rasmussen and Patricia Volk who returned to the gallery as guest artists for this show. The exhibition also included an installation by textile artist Isabelle Fletcher and new work by Lise Herud Braten, the most recent additions to the Cavaliero Finn portfolio.
