The Resin Medium

Mirandon uses resin-based paints that are extremely difficult to master. Specifically because of the medium’s complexity and unpredictability, very few artists have attempted to investigate it. Yet Mirandon, with technical brilliance, employs the remarkably transparent and luminous colors inherent in the resin, bringing forth edifying moods of both subtlety and striking radiance. This allows him to create works that mirror the beauty inherent in the environment and to emphasize the ways in which light and shadows reflect off of sky, sand, water, and even air. When one gazes at a Mirandon painting, one can feel enveloped by the tempestuous intensity of waves or the multihued glow of the sky. Indeed, the glassy surface of the resin acts as a window to commanding natural forms.
