From his Green Series, Mirre's political statement in Liberty Scream is unmistakable. Mirre transforms this homage to Edvard Munch, into a mourning cry for freedom in our convoluted democratic governments in the US and in Europe. This shriek of horror is particularly poignant in response to recent presidential elections and parliamentary decisions that severely limit the personal liberty for many nationalities. Lady Liberty is asking, what has happened to freedom? Have we as humans forgotten the pledge: " Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"?

A successful artist for many years, Jean Mirre's eclectic style has evolved through many distinct phases - from miniature painting, to rock-and-roll digital art, to abstract southern landscapes, to figurative compositions and abstract expressionism. Here is an artist who does it all, and exceptionally well, repeatedly attracting collectors in the United States, Japan, Brazil, Belgium, England, Germany, Poland, Spain, Italy, Romania and, of course, in France.
Many of his collectors own several paintings by Mirre, which present themselves well in triptychs, diptychs or unique pieces. One of the most remarkable aspects of her work is the poetic feeling of joy and well-being that she conveys to the viewer. “When I was younger, I wanted to be a poet, so I studied literature at universities in Paris, Dublin and London,” says Mirre. "Very soon I discovered that my true calling was to create poetry with visual art. Today, I have found peaceful expression in painting. Optimism is my strongest state of mind. lasting and it spills over my canvases. I want to share with my viewer the happiness I feel and encourage them to focus on the positive, despite the negative energy that surrounds us too often. I believe that we all have the power to shape our world. I choose to shape mine with optimistic and colorful imagery. It is my gift to the present and to the future."
Born in France in 1949, over the years Mirre has exhibited in many places, including Paris, Versailles, Limoges and Dublin, and is a popular internet artist around the world. Mirre lives in France in Linards with her cat Neige, who inspires her.
