The Miaz Brothers, composed of Italian-born siblings Roberto and Renato Miaz, are a contemporary artist duo based in Manchester, UK. They have garnered international recognition for their innovative approach to portraiture, which challenges conventional notions of clarity and definition in art. Their signature technique involves the use of airbrush and aerosol paint to create large-scale portraits that are deliberately out of focus, appearing as soft, ethereal blurs. By manipulating focus and perception, the artists invite viewers to engage more deeply with the artwork, relying on memory and imagination to complete the image. This unique style critiques our modern obsession with immediate clarity and high definition, instead emphasizing the subjective nature of human perception and the idea that reality itself is a construct.

The brothers do not aim to capture the exact likeness of a subject but rather the "essence" or memory of a person. This ephemeral quality encourages a meditative viewing experience, prompting introspection about how we perceive others and how memories fade and shift over time.

Active in the art world since 1996, the Miaz Brothers have exhibited their work extensively in major cities across the globe, including London, New York, Hong Kong, and Rome. Their pieces are held in numerous private and public collections, establishing them as significant contributors to the contemporary art dialogue. Their work continues to evolve, pushing the boundaries of traditional painting and the dynamics between the viewer and the viewed object.
