(1.1967, Sydney - )
Mira Narobe is a Slovenian academic painter who combines classical painting approaches with contemporary research in her work. Her images are extremely monumental and invite the viewer to reflect on life, time and emotions. The artist received her first education in Ljubljana at the Secondary School of Design and Photography.
She later enrolled in the Department of Painting at the Faculty of Education in Ljubljana. She is an extremely talented artist. Her works are innovative in many ways. They are full of passion and invite the viewer to actively participate in her images. Mira mostly uses the oil on canvas technique in her paintings. This makes her paintings somewhat flat at first glance, but the artist emphasizes spatial depth by layering layers of color and thick applications. The painter is known for her firm and sovereign strokes, which sometimes seem as if she is trying to create a film composition. In her work, Narobe uses gigantic formats in order to fully connect with the creative process and make the motifs even more convincing.
Her images are characterized by a distinct layering of colors. She is one of the bolder painters, who applies both dark and more mystical underpaintings and brighter, lazure layers to the canvas. This is the main reason why her works become truly alive and unique and invite the viewer to reflect on the work. Her images are not just aesthetic displays, but also a deep emotional experience with subtle and intimate moments that the artist immortalizes on canvas. She primarily creates deeply psychological portraits and still lifes, in which she skillfully controls space and light. Each of her works is a story in itself. Mira Narobe has received numerous awards for her work. Among the more famous is the Ex Tempore award.
She has participated in several solo and group exhibitions at home and abroad. Among the most important is the exhibition that the artists organised at the Slovenian Institute of Science in Vienna. There, her works were viewed by a wide range of art enthusiasts, which earned the artist a reputation outside of Slovenia.

Mira Narobe je slovenska akademska slikarka ki v svojem delu združuje klasične slikarske pristope s sodobnimi iskanji. Njene podobe so izredno monumentalne in gledalca pozivajo k refleksiji o življenju, času in čustvih. Umetnica je prvo izobrazbo dobila v Ljubljani na Srednji šoli za oblikovanje in fotografijo.
Kasneje se je vpisala na oddelek za slikarstvo na Pedagoško fakulteto v Ljubljani. Je izredno nadarjena umetnica. Njena dela so v več pogledih inovativna. So polna strasti in gledalca pozivajo naj aktivno sodeluje v njenih podobah. Pri slikanju Mira večinoma uporablja tehniko olja na platno. S tem so njene slike na prvi pogled nekoliko ploskovite pa vendar umetnica z nizanjem barvnih plasti in debelimi nanosi poudari prostorsko globino. Slikarka je znana po svoji čvrsti in suvereni potezi, ki včasih deluje kot da bi poskušala ustvariti filmsko kompozicijo. Pri svojem delu Narobetova uporablja velikanske formate, da bi se lahko popolnoma povezala z ustvarjalnim procesom in naredila motive še bolj prepričljive.
Za njene podobe je značilno izrazito plastenje barv. Je ena bolj drznih slikark, ki na platna niza tako temne in bolj mistične podslikave kot tudi bolj svetle, lazurne nanose. To je glavni razlog, zaradi katerega njena dela postanejo zares živa in edinstvena ter povabijo gledalca k refleksiji o delu. Njene podobe niso zgolj estetski prikazi, temveč tudi globoko čustveno doživetje s subtilnimi in intimnimi trenutki, ki jih umetnica ovekoveči na platnu. Ustvarja predvsem močno psihološko poglobljene portrete in tihožitja, v katerih s spretnostjo obvladuje prostor in svetlobo. Vsako njeno delo je zgodba zase. Mira Narobe je za svoje delo prejela številne nagrade. Med bolj znanimi je priznanje Ex Tempore.
Sodelovala je na več samostojnih in skupinskih razstavah doma in v tujini. Med pomembnejše sodi razstava, ki so jo umetnici priredili na Slovenskem znanstvenem inštitutu na Dunaju. Tam si je njena dela ogledal širok spekter likovnih navdušencev, s čimer je umetnica dosegla ugled tudi izven Slovenije.
