MÍRAME Fine Art Emerges as a Vital Player in Costa Rican Art to Shape National Culture
Written by SULÉY ERA
Costa Rica, renowned for its biodiversity and environmental sustainability, its stunning landscapes and eco-tourism, boasts a rich cultural heritage, including an exciting art scene. Despite its talented artists, including renowned Costa Rican painters, Costa Rican art often remains in the shadows.
Costa Rica’s art scene, though rich and diverse, has long been overshadowed despite the fact that emerging artwork and even famous Costa Rican paintings have been widely available. Limited media coverage, insufficient infrastructure, and lack of investment in cultural sectors hinder the growth and recognition of Costa Rican art.
MÍRAME Fine Art, a pioneering platform dedicated to showcasing and promoting the diverse talents of contemporary Costa Rican artists on a global stage, is changing this narrative by championing local talent, fostering cultural appreciation, and building bridges to the international art world.

Ryan James Fine Arts Gallery in partnership with Patricia Cameron Gallery presents "Duality", a conceptual exhibition of paintings and mixed media works by Seattle based artist Milan Heger.
Ryan James, the gallery director, shares the vision of Milan Heger’s “Duality” exhibition: “Milan embarked on the road of creating art as a young man, in response to the uniformity of colorless propaganda around him during the totalitarian regime he grew up in. Therefore, unique and original became the hallmark of his soulful art expression. Covering the non-objectionable in his performance art or in his mixed-media works, Milan Heger looks for the essence of what makes us human.”
