Mireles' first solo show on the East Coast was held at the New Hampshire Art Association's Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery in March 2023. His "¡Expressionismo!" exhibit featured twenty-four paintings, prints, and collages, winning the coveted D. Pratt Framer Award. In September 2023, Mireles' "Red Tide" entry was accepted to the Rockport Art Association & Museum National Show 2023, a prestigious juried exposition. "Red Tide" won the BankGloucester Award For Contemporary Art.
Mireles shares a deeply personal insight into his creative process in his artist statement. He states that his art reflects his humanistic vision, exploring the profound bond between humankind and the natural world. "I believe that I can convey my vision more powerfully and with greater emotional impact through the use of abstract concepts," Mireles reveals. As a newcomer to Massachusetts and New England, Mireles is eager to connect with fellow artists and expand his audience of abstract art enthusiasts.
