EXPRESSING THE INEXPRESIBLE
Uruguayan Contemporary Artist based in Punta del Este, Uruguay Exploring emotions and tensions that can hardly be resolved rationally, I find in abstraction a form of expression that goes beyond words.
what art is to me
NIRE ARTEA is the artistic practice of Mili Jaunsolo, a Uruguayan contemporary artist based in Punta del Este. Art is my way of engaging in dialogue with something I do not fully understand, but deeply feel. It allows me to explore emotions, questions and tensions that often exist beyond words, and to give them a visible form. I do not seek to explain or resolve those experiences, but rather to create a space where they can exist. A free dialogue with what I do not understand, but feel. And if, on the other side, even for just one person, something within that resonates — whether through thought or emotion — then the work no longer belongs entirely to me.
OPEN PROJECTS
Some ideas cannot be resolved within a single work. They return, transform and continue unfolding over time. These open projects bring together explorations that remain in motion, allowing new pieces, questions and possibilities to emerge along the way.
collection
A complete selection of original works. An invitation to explore works created through different moments, contexts and stages of exploration.
about me
I graduated as an architect from the University of the Republic in Uruguay in 2017. For several years, my professional work developed within the field of construction, collaborating on projects alongside different colleagues and studios. Over time, I felt the need to find a form of expression that was freer, more intimate and more emotional. This is how, in a completely self-taught and intuitive way, an artistic process began — one that continues to evolve and transform constantly. NIRE ARTEA — “my art” in Euskera — emerged as a space of freedom where control, structure and logic lose their central role. A place where time stops feeling linear and where each work appears through intuition, without sketches or a predetermined outcome. I believe the works are shaped by ideas, emotions and tensions that never fully resolve themselves. Perhaps that is why they preserve an open space — sometimes uncomfortable — that invites pause, a second look, a disturbance, or simply silence.
If something resonated, I'd love to hear from you.
