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.
