Miran Blažek rođen je 5 listopada 1983. godine u Osijeku. Diplomirao je slikarstvo na Akademiji likovnih umjetnosti u Zagrebu 2006. godine te je završio poslijediplomski magistarski studij na Akademiji za likovno umetnost in oblikovanje u Ljubljani 2012. godine. Slikarsko iskustvo odmah po završetku studija počeo je nadopunjavati praksama koje se nisu oslanjale isključivo na tradicionalan pojam štafelajnog slikarstva. U radu se oslanja na granična polja medija, primarno crteža i slike. Izlaže na više samostalnih i skupnih izložbi u zemlji i inozemstvu. 2012. godine dodjeljena mu je Nagrada Radoslav Putar za najboljeg hrvatskog mladog umjetnika do 35 godina u organizaciji Instituta za suvremenu umjetnost u Zagrebu. Sudjeluje na nekoliko rezidencijalnih programa za umjetnike u inozemstvu, Hafenkombinat u Leipzigu, CREART u Kristiansandu i International Studio and Curatorial Program u New Yorku. Od 2014. godine radi na Akademiji za umjetnost i kulturu u Osijeku.

Miran Blažek was born on October 5, 1983 in Osijek. He graduated painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in 2006 and completed his MA at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana in 2012. After graduating, he began to supplement his painting experience with practices that did not rely exclusively on the traditional notion of easel painting. His work relies on the boundary fields of the media, primarily drawings and painting. He exhibited in several solo and group exhibitions. In 2012, he was awarded the Radoslav Putar Award for the best Croatian young artist under 35, organized by the Institute of Contemporary Art in Zagreb. He participated in several art residencies, Hafenkombinat in Leipzig, CREART in Kristiansand and International Studio and Curatorial Program in New York. Since 2014, he has been employed at the Academy of Arts and Culture in Osijek.
