Mireya Campos

Mireya Campos is a Mexican American artist whose work reflects a lifetime shaped by visual art, dance, travel, and cultural heritage. Trained from an early age by her father in Mexico City, she also studied at La Esmeralda, one of Mexico’s most distinguished art schools, before pursuing careers in both visual arts and professional dance.

Working with oil, acrylic, and mixed media, Campos creates richly textured paintings inspired by people, places, and personal memories. She often incorporates fabrics, jewelry, found objects, and symbolic elements into her work, adding layers of meaning that invite viewers to look more closely. Her Mexican roots and life in the United States come together in a vibrant visual language she describes as “Meximalist.”

Campos has exhibited widely, including solo exhibitions in Columbus, Ohio, and has served as a resident artist at Shadowbox Live. In 2025, she received the Best Emerging Artist award at the Columbus Arts Festival, recognizing her growing presence in the contemporary art community.
