Murielle Velay M
Murielle Velay Michel, alias MiraBelle, was born in 1963 in the Principality of Monaco where
she’s actually living between her small Moneqasque atelier and her summer atelier situated
near a small village, on a ridge of the Cheiron mountain chain in Provence.
Selft-taught, it is in the course of her life, where art and these multiple expressions are omnipresent,
that MiraBelle sees the watercolor imposing upon her, with more exactly the practice
of Nude as an evidence.

is a work often stripped, where the substance is suggested. The artist translates feelings,
states of soltitude, introspection, moments of absence in which the subjects seem timeless.

of my watercolors, implement the whim of the fusion of pigments and water,
