Nourish your soul with ART
It all begins with an idea.
Art is like a box of chocolate ….
…for me! Shall I open it and indulge in a burst of colour that feeds my soul? Certainly!
That line was from an article I wrote for My Space Magazine in New Zealand a few years ago. The feature included one of my favourite (and naturally red!) artworks. The editors even loved seeing me perched on my iconic red egg chair next to it—just like that, an article was born!
In that piece, I shared three simple steps to start collecting art, a question I’m often asked:
"Mira, how do I start collecting? How do I know what art to buy?"
The advice I gave was inspired by a friend who once told me, “KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid”—though I promise, without the insult! These words came to me when I felt overwhelmed juggling multiple projects. Here’s my artful twist on KISS (which, coincidentally, is the name of the red painting I’m sitting in front of in this image):
Three Simple Steps to Begin Collecting Art
1. Make a Connection
Art is emotional, personal, and instinctive. Trust your gut. Always! When a piece grabs your attention, it’s often the one for you. I sometimes encourage my clients to step away from a piece of art and re-enter the room. If it still “grabs” them, I say, “That’s your artwork!”
True story: Once, I was wandering through a gallery in Auckland when I locked eyes with a stunning, multicoloured glass vase. I turned to my partner and said, “She’s looking at me!” He laughed, replying, “You can’t buy art every day!” But just as we reached the car, I rushed back with a big smile, telling the gallery owner, “I’ve made a connection with your little friend—I want her!” That vase now sits in my home, radiating joy and reminding me of beautiful Aotearoa, New Zealand and the memories it holds.
2. Nourish Your Soul
Don’t focus too much on the price or size—let the piece speak to you. Choose art that makes you smile and lifts your spirit. One client fell in love with a large lime-green painting of mine and was so inspired that she bought a matching sofa to complement it. She later joked she even repainted her door in the same shade! Now that’s a colour match made in heaven.
3. Colours Are Emotions
Colours have the power to transform spaces and moods. Choose hues that uplift and energise you. Sometimes placing a new piece of art inspires a small home refresh, whether it’s rearranging furniture or adding complementary accents. Art isn’t just decoration—it’s a mood, a feeling, a spark of creativity in your home. Art is love. I’m always in Loooove!
Art That Speaks to You
Starting your art collection doesn’t need to feel overwhelming—it’s a journey of personal connection and joy. Let the pieces you choose become part of your story. Remember, the right artwork will find you, just as much as you find it.
At Mira Corbova Art, every brushstroke, colour, and detail is crafted with intention, ready to connect with you. Explore my collections or attend one of my Art Soirée events, where I’ll guide you through the magic of discovering the art that resonates with your soul—whether it’s mine or one of my talented guest artists.
Happy collecting!

A New Chapter: Connecting Through Art in Sydney
Welcome to Mira Corbova Art Gallery, Sydney, Australia. We are now located in Kellywille Ridge, near Rouse Hill, short drive to Shopping centre and metro.
Art That Speaks to the Soul
At Mira Corbova Art, we believe that art is more than a visual experience—it is an emotional dialogue that connects, inspires, and resonates deeply. Each painting, every vibrant hue, and every carefully curated exhibition is designed to evoke a sense of meaning and purpose. Through our work, we offer more than art; we offer a bridge to profound connection—connecting individuals to their emotions, to the world, and to the timeless beauty of creativity.
A New Home in Sydney, A New Chapter in Art
Following years of success in Aotearoa, New Zealand, we are thrilled to bring our artistic vision to the vibrant and sophisticated art scene of Sydney, Australia.

Our move represents a fresh canvas—an exciting opportunity to engage with discerning collectors and connoisseurs on an ever-evolving artistic journey.
