Miruna Mogosanu is GlogauAIR resident
from October 2024 to December 2024
A multidisciplinary artist with a background in drama, engineering, and psychology, Miruna creates paintings as portals to imaginary worlds and interconnected parallel universes. Influenced by the I Ching, Tarot de Marseille, and psychological archetypes, her work offers an immersive, philosophical journey that both asks and answers profound questions. Each piece begins with a clear vision but evolves organically, shaping its own narrative, inviting viewers to explore the authentic self and escape the monotony of daily life through dreams, stories, and fantasies.

Statement
I’ve studied drama for 2 years, and I’ve learned to play with feelings, ideas and images. I’ve always been drawn to the idea that every painting should tell a story. I’ve graduated electrotechnic and aerospace engineering. I study psychology as a hobby. Psychology, the teachings in I Ching, The Book of Changes and the Tarot de Marseille cards follow the same structure and I find it fascinating.
Dreams. Stories. Fantasies.
My paintings are portals to imaginary worlds, interconnected parallel universes, a journey in search for the authentic being within. They are meant as a short immersive experience, an escape from the boredom of day to day life, a philosophical experience that asks questions and gives answers at the same time.
Although I always have a clear image in my mind when I start, at one point the painting starts to have a will of its own. Things appear or disappear, and sometimes the whole narrative changes.
GlogauAIR Project
The Fool and The World
What is the purpose, my purpose or your purpose?
In the past few years I have been drawn into the fascinating word of the tarot deck and have started to study the symbolism of the Tarot de Marseille cards, explained by Alejandro Jodorowsky.
The more I studied the more it became clear the cards are a psychological journey of becoming, as well as a mirror that shows the reflection of the soul and its struggles in search of redemption.
For some time now I had in my mind a painting focused on the first and last card of the major arcana, the first one being The Fool, a permanent beginning, while the last one is The World, an infinite epilog.
Instead of 1 painting my project is to create a series of paintings, different sizes. Each painting will be a stand alone universe, part of a hero’s journey: places, guardians, stops and adventures. The stand alone worlds create the journey. Each hero chooses his own path. Different encounters may create different heroes.
