Mina Hamada - available works

Mina Hamada was born in 1981 in Louisiana, USA and raised in Japan. She studied design and illustration at Tokyo's Sokei Academy of Fine Art & Design. Her first exhibitions included drawings, paintings and poetry. 

In 2009, she moved to Barcelona, where she studied typography and Hispanic studies; she still lives there today. Mina Hamada fell in love with Barcelona's contemporary urban art scene, particularly mural art. There she experimented with her own style, creating graffiti but mainly large-scale murals.

At the end of 2011, she met Zosen. The artist duo began collaborating on murals, installations, screenprint, and have participated together in many festivals and mural exhibitions since 2012. Mina's work is exhibited in galleries and institutions across Europe, the United States, Latin America and Asia. 

The Speerstra Gallery invited her in 2019 to take part in the UPAW project, which it has already organized in 2017 and 2018, in Monaco. The success of this first collaboration naturally led the Speerstra Gallery to open the doors of its Parisian and Swiss galleries to her for several exhibitions.

The work of Mina Hamada, with her intercultural background, is characterized by a spontaneity of abstract and organic shapes that encourage the imagination, rhythm and soft, light, warm colors that come together in a whimsical, intimate universe imbued with serenity and joie de vivre.
