Born in 1965 in Bregenz, AT, artist Miriam Prantl began her creative career as early as 1983, when she performed as a semi-soloist at the Staatstheater Karlsruhe. Moving from New York to London in 1987, Prantl began her artistic career and produced her first drawings and paintings. In 1993-1995 Miriam Prantl completed her doctorate in the painting master class of Prof. Paul Huxley at the Royal Collage of Art, London.

Already at this time Miriam Prantl received her first awards and participated as a lecturer in lectures and courses at the Kent Institute of Art, East London University, University of Plymouth. In addition to further awards, she was awarded an assistant professorship at Concordia University, Fine Art Department, Montreal, Canada in 2022, which was funded by the state of Vorarlberg.

In addition to paintings, Prantl increasingly focuses on light installations and uses them to create so-called artificial environments. These works are able to merge space, colour, light and time into one another, generating a moment of perception. This moment is primarily determined by the fact that the aesthetic space merges with the profane space and thus the viewer becomes part of this immaterial "energy field". The light installations, some of which are audiovisual and expansive in space, also allow the viewer: in to step outside of themselves and reform the layers of their awareness.
