Dancing Blooms and Hearts is a one-of-a-kind original acrylic painting by Juan Mira, painted on a 24" × 18" gesso canvas panel and presented in a white solid wood frame measuring 26" × 20" overall.
A cobalt-blue vase anchors a lively bouquet of red, yellow, pink, and white blooms against a warm gradient of sky blue, gold, and red. Loose green foliage and scattered hand-painted hearts carry the composition outward, giving the painting a sense of motion and joyful energy.
About the Artwork
Mira draws on Peter Max's frequently revisited vase-of-flowers compositions, with a large vase grounding the lower portion of the image and a burst of flowers spreading upward. He develops that structure through his own arrangement of color, movement, and symbolic detail.
The hearts introduce a second recurring Pop Art motif and connect the floral subject to Mira's broader catalog. They move through the surrounding color field rather than remaining confined to the bouquet, making the entire surface feel active.
Painted directly on a gesso-prepared canvas panel with premium lightfast acrylic paint, the piece is hand-signed “Mira” on the front and finished with a UV-protective varnish.
The Artist
Juan Mira's style traces back to a childhood surrounded by Peter Max's imagery, an influence that has remained with him throughout his career. He often works with themes associated with Max, including umbrella figures, sunsets, hearts, flags, and flowers, then develops them through his own compositions and characters.
Mira also introduces touches of realism alongside bold Pop Art color, and in some paintings extends the work beyond the conventional picture plane through trompe-l'œil borders or painted frames. Over time, this has grown into a distinct catalog of original Mira characters and compositions, created in the spirit of the tradition Peter Max helped define.
