AD 134 | Mia Bergeron
“Planting Seeds of Unconditional Love”




Mia Bergeron is a contemporary female oil painter focused on the dualism of everyday scenes. Rooted in her upbringing in New York City with continuous exposure to modern art at a young age, her paintings also reveal her choice to study classical painting in Florence, Italy. Throughout her work, influences of both contemporary and historical ideas can be seen, whether rooted by her choice of subjects or the exploratory nature of the tools she employs. Her work seeks to show the nebulous aspects of being human, often choosing to pose a question rather than pursue an answer.


Show Notes: 
  • Expanding the definitions of unconditional love.
  • Being grateful and observant of personal obstacles as the first step of engagement / change.
  • Her experience with an absence of internal monologue and a heightened sense of physical awareness.
  • Approaching religion as mythology and stories of self.
  • How humans use religion and mythology to rationalize evil and condone immoral action.
  • Her personal way separating from academic and institutional modes of creation while trying to find her personal creative voice.
  • Engaging with art (and people) in person instead of through Instagram and other readily accessible forms of e-media.
  • The craving that human beings have for real connection vs. the illusion of the connection through social media.  Disregarding the need for a very natural “tribe mentality.”
  • Her personal triggers for anxiety and her methods of reestablishing her mind-body connection when anxiety hits.
  • Breaking down overwhelming tasks both in and outside artistic practice.

About

"I started this series as a means for exploration, an exploration of self, and an exploration of the perspectives of other artists.

This series is an unabridged documentation of conversations between artists. It’s a series dedicated to breaking down the barriers we tend to set up in our own minds. I want to inspire future creatives to have the courage to explore and experiment. This is about making dreams a reality and not about letting our dreams fall to the wayside.

My intention is to give my audience a sense of real human connection, something that feels rich and organic.

When I was thinking of a title I thought of the word “movement”.

In relation to the Renaissance period in art, my goal for this program is to signify a rebirth of consciousness towards the way we look at contemporary art."
