An original collection of oil on mirrors 3D art, Wheel of Reflections along with her transformative paintings, explore the theme of unity against the backdrop of social inequalities.

Moreover, Couri’s masterful use of mirrors allows her to depict parallel, divergent realities within a single piece.

About Samara Couri

Samara Couri, originally from London, obtained her degree in Fine Art and has exhibited in many prestigious galleries worldwide. Now based in Hawaii and LA, she explores the Hawaiian people’s culture, history, language, and philosophy, reflecting their spirit through her work. 

Primarily using oil on mirror, her paintings transform into immersive 3D pieces, altering perspectives and angles of the subject matter. Her art explores themes of unity amidst social inequalities, offering a platform to humanity and our perceptions of one another.

By painting on mirrors that face and reflect one another, she creates pieces that compel viewers to engage deeply, potentially facing their own inner demons, finding peace, or feeling a sense of belonging. Her installations become psychological halls of mirrors, where everything is laid bare for introspection and connection.

Samara holds a B.A. in Fine Art Painting from the City and Guilds of London Art School (2007-2010).
