Miya Ando x Indigo Youth Movement

Element artist Miya Ando is donating all proceeds from her limited-edition series of steel canvasses to the Indigo Youth Movement

This non-profit organisation provides art supplies, books and educational materials for kids in Durban, South Africa. This project is part of Element's Power to the Planet campaign which aims to raise social and environmental awareness.

Influenced by her sword smith-cum-Buddhist priest parents, Miya started working with metal and single-handedly spun a new and unique genre of minimalist art that nods to abstract expressionists like Rothko.

You can buy a signed and numbered piece for $100USD from her website.

  • Miya,
    You never stop to amaze me and it is great honor working together with you in getting your pieces into Hara, hopefully for the year 2010. People do not know much about S. Africa. I got to know when my family member did business with them in 1982. Then I really got to know them in 1998 when I imported Cape Soleiu, an organic wine for the Self Defense Force wine appreciators.

    Again, thank you for the quality work and I look forward to the wtc piece!

    For those that do not know... Converting steel or iron of destruction into serenity is not an easy task but Miya does it beautifully. Please feel free to comment on my comment.
