Myriam Wares’ Surreal Italian Winter
As a branding curator, I champion work that reframes identity and place, and Myriam Wares’ Winter series does exactly that. Her move from Montreal to Turin becomes a visual study of dislocation and renewal. Giant clay pots, oversized citrus, and tiled floors collide with partially dusted snow, creating striking contradictions. The pieces balance classical technique, symbolism, and surreal composition, crafting a microcosm both personal and universal. This is storytelling through texture and light. It invites us to rethink what winter can mean, as memory and geography reshape each other. It lingers long after you look away, again.
Her fluency in French, English and Italian gives cultural nuance to each scene. Recognised by major illustration awards, she transforms homesickness into cinematic imagery. For brand storytellers and visual strategists, Winter is a masterclass in translating experience into identity. Read it to see how place becomes design language.
This series offers unexpected color palettes, mythic still lifes, and precise composition. Each piece rewards slow looking, revealing layered meaning over time. As a curator, I recommend exploring the full feature to absorb context and artist notes. High resolution images amplify the work’s subtle power.
