About Mistie

Contemporary abstract artist pushing the boundaries of form and emotion

Mistie is a contemporary abstract artist whose work explores the intersection of emotion, form, and the ineffable spaces between. Based in New York, her practice spans two decades of dedicated exploration into the language of abstraction.

Her canvases are meditations on light, shadow, and the subtle gradations that exist within seemingly monochromatic palettes. Each piece invites the viewer into a contemplative dialogue, offering space for personal interpretation and emotional resonance.

Drawing inspiration from Japanese aesthetics, minimalist philosophy, and the raw beauty of natural phenomena, Mistie's work transcends cultural boundaries while maintaining an intimate, personal quality that speaks to universal human experiences.

Artist Statement

"My work exists in the liminal spaces—between darkness and light, chaos and order, the known and the unknowable. I am drawn to the power of restraint, finding that the most profound expressions often emerge from the most limited means."

"Through layers of paint, gesture, and mark-making, I seek to create visual poems that resonate on an emotional rather than intellectual level. Each piece is an invitation to pause, to breathe, to simply be present with what is before you."

"In our increasingly noisy world, I believe in the radical power of quietness, the strength found in subtlety, and the profound beauty that exists in the spaces we typically overlook."
