However, it was the year 2020 that marked a significant turning point for Mirela as an artist. The onset of the Covid-19 pandemic compelled her to rekindle her passion for painting and artistic creation.

Her works reflect the profound impact of these experiences, inviting viewers to observe, contemplate and appreciate the subtleties of the world around them. Among her esteemed influences, she holds a deep admiration for artists such as David Hockney, Van Gogh, Karen Hollingsworth, Heidi Palmer, Geta Bratescu, and Constantin Brancusi. Their mastery, innovation, and artistic vision continue to shape and inspire her own creative endeavours.
