Ila Mira is a multidisciplinary artist and designer that works in both abstract and figurative drawing and painting and combines self produced music with experimental video. Web and graphic design are supplementary skills but her focus is art and music. She dropped out of the Integrated Media Program at OCADU in Toronto and strongly considers herself self taught. Ila studied at Humber College in the Design for Print and Web Program.
She has had an installation at the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery and multiple performances at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Ila exhibited a large body of work in April 2018 in her first solo show entitled “A Gentle Breakthrough” that focused on moving through suffering. Her second solo exhibit of large scale black and white drawings accompanied by multiple edited videos with respective scores entitled “Shadow Is Full With Emptiness” showed in November 2019.
She is currently working on a commission for Bruce La Bruce’s most recent film in progress.
