Testimonials

"We have known and admired Deyana Mielke's artwork since she first started showing in Chicago during the 80's.  She is a finely skilled, well prepared painter who continues to execute expressions of life as she experiences it.  The exuberance and energy of the artist is embedded into the canvas with a palette bursting with color and figures full of expression."     ---Woody Olsen and Gregory Hodapp, Chicago



 

"It is literally impossible to remain indifferent to Deyana  Mielke' s work. Chronicling her own life experiences and observations, she is fearless and humorous in choosing her symbols.  She delicately balances tenderness with brutal, unconditional honesty.  Her commitment to art making is admirable.  Her work is complex, emotionally charged, alarming yet accessible."    ---Bruna Stude, Curator/Owner gallerie 103, Poipu
