Miya Turnbull è un’artista visiva che mette al centro della sua ricerca una domanda affascinante: cos’è che definisce davvero la nostra identità? Il suo progetto principale, intitolato semplicemente MASKS, esplora il concetto di autoritratto attraverso una collezione impressionante di oltre 100 maschere, tutte realizzate partendo dal calco in gesso del suo stesso volto.

L’aspetto più originale del suo lavoro è il modo in cui queste maschere smettono di essere semplici oggetti statici da appendere al muro per trasformarsi in veri e propri strumenti interattivi. Miya gioca costantemente con la fotografia e la produzione video indossando le sue creazioni, alterando la percezione dei lineamenti, distorcendo l’immagine di sé e sperimentando tecniche diverse che vanno dalle mezze maschere a composizioni geometriche ispirate all’origami.

Nelle sue opere il volto si scompone, si moltiplica o si apre a ventaglio, creando un effetto quasi ipnotico e disorientante che scava nel dualismo tra ciò che mostriamo al mondo esterno e ciò che custodiamo dentro. Di recente ha iniziato a estendere questo approccio creativo a performance che coinvolgono l’intero corpo, trasformando la maschera in un’estensione fisica e coreografica di se stessa. È un percorso artistico profondamente intimo ma al contempo universale, capace di trasformare la ricerca della propria identità in un processo visivo giocoso, a tratti surreale e di grandissimo impatto visivo.
Miya Turnbull is a multi-disciplinary visual artist of mixed Japanese Canadian ancestry. She grew up on a farm in Alberta and graduated from the University of Lethbridge with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2000. She is primarily a mask maker, but also works in many mediums such as painting, photography, textiles, video, animation, projection, and new to her practise is performance. She focuses in on Self-Portrait- using her Photo-Mask technique to make life-like representations of her face, often distorting and manipulating her image in various ways, which she then wears as a 'false face' or 'second skin'. By keeping her image a constant, Miya is able to experiment with multiple iterations and further explore her heritage, experiences, perceptions and inner world, making these visible, tangible and wearable. She has exhibited her masks, photos and video in galleries throughout Canada and internationally. In 2026, she is currently part of a group show at FSU MoFa (Florida State University Museum of Fine Art) on display until June, organized by ICI (Independent Curators International), as well as a group show at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Fredericton, NB as part of this year's Photo E(a)st Contemporary Photography Festival. She was part of a residency at the Khyber Gallery in Halifax, NS in March (Window Gallery Space March-May) and a solo exhibition at Eastern Edge in St. John's, NL, April-May. Miya and Shion will be touring Omote (⾯) dance performances across Alberta this upcoming fall.

Layers of Self, Variation

#miyamask #miyaturnbull #maskart #selfportait #masks
These masks aren’t disguises— they’re portals. Each mask becomes a layered mirror, echoing the shifting layers of identity.

Through performance and portraiture, artist Miya Turnbull questions what it means to be seen and to become.
