About The Artist
Minh Ngà Dang Vu, known professionally as Minia D., is a contemporary Vietnamese-born abstract artist whose work explores healing, consciousness, spirituality, and the emotional energies that shape human experience. Born in Saigon in 1977 and later raised in Paris by a French adoptive family while maintaining ties to her biological roots, Minia’s multicultural upbringing profoundly influenced both her worldview and artistic voice.
Surrounded by diverse spiritual traditions from an early age — including both Catholic and Buddhist teachings — Minia developed a deep fascination with inner transformation, emotional awareness, and the interconnectedness of life. After studying art history and photography in Paris, she drew inspiration from movements ranging from Impressionism to Abstract Expressionism while gradually developing her own intuitive visual language.
Having lived and created work in Paris, San Francisco, India, and now Miami Beach, Minia’s paintings reflect a life shaped by travel, cultural exploration, healing practices, and personal transformation. Her work seeks to translate invisible emotional and energetic realities into immersive abstract compositions that invite contemplation, presence, and emotional connection.
Aritistic Process
Working primarily with acrylic on canvas, Minia approaches painting as an intuitive and deeply meditative process. Through multiple layers of color, texture, gesture, and movement, she allows what she describes as an inner guidance — “the otherness” — to influence the rhythm, composition, and emotional direction of each piece.
Her process is closely connected to her personal exploration of healing modalities, including Chi Nei Tsang, an ancient Taoist healing practice centered on the relationship between physical, emotional, and energetic balance. Rather than beginning with rigid concepts or predefined outcomes, Minia allows each painting to evolve organically until a sense of harmony and energetic coherence emerges.
The layered surfaces within her work often mirror shifting emotional states, accumulated life experiences, and the impermanent nature of existence itself. Through fluid movement and atmospheric abstraction, her paintings create spaces that feel both emotionally expressive and quietly meditative.

About The Artist
Born in Pinar del Río, Cuba, Pablo Fernandez Jr. emerged from a deeply artistic environment shaped by both his father, an accomplished painter, and his mother, who was actively engaged in the visual arts. Immersed in creativity from an early age, he began painting seriously at just five years old, developing both technical discipline and a distinct artistic voice early in life.
Fernández Jr. received his formal training at the prestigious San Alejandro Academy of Fine Arts in Havana, graduating with honors in 2019. Shortly thereafter, he was invited to join the faculty, becoming one of the youngest professors in the academy’s history — a reflection of both his technical mastery and artistic maturity.
Aritistic Process
His work is defined by a striking fusion of hyperrealism and photorealism, enriched by subtle influences of surrealism and contemporary pop culture. Through meticulous layering and an extraordinary command of light, texture, and detail, Fernández Jr. creates paintings that possess near-photographic precision while transcending simple replication.
His compositions often blur the boundary between image and illusion, inviting prolonged viewing and revealing new emotional nuances through color, atmosphere, and visual contrast. Themes of identity, vulnerability, freedom, and emotional complexity frequently emerge throughout his work.
Themes & Perspective
Central to Fernández Jr.’s practice is an exploration of the human condition and the emotional narratives carried within contemporary figurative painting. His portraits often feel suspended between realism and dreamlike interpretation, balancing technical precision with psychological depth and emotional resonance.
Widely recognized for both his craftsmanship and artistic sensitivity, Fernández Jr. continues to build an international presence through work that seeks not only to impress visually, but to create genuine emotional connection through beauty, symbolism, and human expression.

Themes & Perspective
Themes of transformation, consciousness, healing, nature, mysticism, and emotional liberation remain central throughout Minia’s work. Influenced by spirituality, psychology, travel, and the natural world, her paintings explore the unseen energies that exist beneath everyday perception and human conditioning.
For Minia, art serves as both a personal journey and a form of energetic communication — an attempt to give visual form to experiences that are often felt rather than easily explained through language. Her compositions frequently evoke movement between the tangible and intangible, balancing spontaneity with emotional depth and introspection.
Guided by intuition and a belief in the interconnectedness of all things, Minia’s work invites viewers into a contemplative space where healing, awareness, and expanded perception can unfold through color, movement, and abstraction.
