Mia ENELL (b. 1967, in Gothenburg, Sweden) is an interdisciplinary artist working mainly in painting and drawing, but also using other media such as photography, video, installation and sculpture. She is best known for her paintings, watercolors and drawings depicting the eccentricities of her inner life, often with humor and a surrealist bent. Haiku-like phrases–inspired by dreams or drawn from the unconscious– serve as titles. Enell likes to play with text, which features prominently in many of her works.
Enell spent her youth growing up between Sweden and Antwerp, Belgium. Enell is a graduate of the Nyckelvik Art School in Stockholm (1987) and received her DNSAP/ MFA from the Art Academy “Beaux-Arts” (ENSBA) in Paris (1992), where she lived for ten years. During her time there she was deeply involved in the French art scene and has exhibited extensively in France. Since 1997, she has been living and working as an artist in New York City, while exhibiting internationally.
