Description
Umbrella Girl #1 introduces one of Juan Mira’s original characters, a confident female counterpart to Peter Max’s familiar Umbrella Man. Seen from behind beneath a wide-brimmed fedora, she stands beneath a blade-shaped umbrella with a feather at her shoulder, creating a figure with her own identity, symbolism, and quiet strength.
About the Artwork
Mira began with the broad visual idea of Peter Max’s Umbrella Man, then created a distinct character of his own. Her blade-shaped umbrella reverses a traditional symbol of manhood, while her posture and wide-brimmed fedora give her an unmistakable confidence. The feather at her shoulder represents her freedom to become whatever she chooses.
Umbrella Girl #1 became the first figure in a growing cast of original Mira characters that includes Umbrella Couple, Neo Man, Neo Sisters, Neo Dad, Balloon Man, and Umbrella Dog. Together, they form a parallel world with its own relationships, humor, and quiet moments.
What you are adding to your collection is a signed, framed, and individually registered MacDonald Gallery Collector Edition print of Juan Mira’s original painting. Each fine art print is hand-signed “Mira ’26” on the mat, professionally presented under tempered glass, and accompanied by a Gallery Certificate of Authenticity bearing its unique serial number.
The print is sealed with a UV-protective coating and presented in a black solid wood frame. The back is finished with acid-free paper, an embossed MacDonald Gallery seal, D-rings and wire, and felt wall pads.
Each Collector Edition is hand-assembled in limited production and individually registered at the time of purchase.
The Artist
Juan Mira’s style traces back to a childhood surrounded by Peter Max’s imagery, an influence that has remained with him throughout his career. He often works with themes associated with Max, including umbrella figures, sunsets, hearts, and flags, then develops them through his own compositions and characters.
Mira also introduces touches of realism alongside bold Pop Art color, and in some paintings creates a trompe-l’œil frame directly on the canvas for a faux-framed effect. Over time, this has grown into a distinct catalog of original Mira characters and compositions, created in the spirit of the tradition Peter Max helped define.
