Mireia Oriol, a 26-year-old Spanish actress, initially gained attention in 2019 after starring as Lorena in the TV show “Les de l’hoquei.” After bravely appearing in Sergio G. Sanchez’s horror-mystery drama series “The Girl in the Mirror” on Netflix in 2022, this gorgeous celebrity found herself back in the spotlight.
What is known of Mireia Oriol’s personal life?
Now 26 years old, Mireia Oriol Farres, was born in Barcelona, Spain to Gloria Farrés and a Spanish father on on May 14, 1996. She has a brother named Gerard Oriol. Not a lot is known about her father, but Gloria Farrés Famadas has been an associate professor at Pompeu Fabra University since 2011.
Oriol used to be a quiet, bashful girl in her early years. Her original plans included majoring in psychology and working as a journalist, but fate had other ideas, and at the age of 16, she enrolled in the “Nancy Tuón and Jordi Oliver, School of Actors” to study acting.
She started her professional modelling career when she was 16 years old, and soon after that she started to feature in her classmates’ short films. A tutor persuaded her to pursue dramatic arts at one of his schools in London while she was working as a model in Paris. She portrays Lorena Sanchez in the television series The Hockey Girls.
Her first acting role was in the movie E.S.O Entidad Sobrenatural Oculta.
She began modelling after finishing high school and enrolled at Pompeu Fabra University to further her education. Oriol admitted to being confused by what she was doing when she pursued modelling in college during an interview with Design Scene. Mireia felt pressured to do well in a situation she was unfamiliar of.
Later, her agent advised her to travel to Paris and meet with Giles Foreman, an acting teacher. Life-changing events occurred after she met this new theatre instructor. Her aunt pushed her to relocate to Paris and enroll in Foreman’s acting course when she got back to Barcelona. Oriol followed her aunt’s advice.
What was Mireia Oriol’s career like as an actor?
Oriol had made appearances in a few short films, including “Amo,” “Waste,” and “Lina,” before studying acting with Giles. Mari’s career, however, took off when she learned from Giles. She started working on “Com si fos ahir,” a drama directed by Dani Ventura, as soon as she got back from London. She joined another show called “Terror.app” the next year.
Soon after, she was cast in “Tocats pel foc,” a masterwork directed by Santiago Lapeira and starring actors like Ferm Fernández, Belén Fabra, and Sergi Cervera.
But “Les de l’hoquei,” a show about a group of female roller hockey players striving to find their place, became the pinnacle of Oriol’s career.
Mireia was given the opportunity to portray Alma, the main character, in the 2022 online series “The Girl in the Mirror.” For this Spanish actress, working on this project was highly advantageous because it allowed her to show off her skills to fans all over the world.
Alma, the lead character who suffers a school tragedy and loses her memory, is portrayed by Oriol. When she gets back home, she starts to learn more about herself and how her circle of friends—many of whom she has lost—shaped her life’s narrative. As she regains her memory, she starts to wonder if perhaps something from her past has left a special imprint on her and pried open the door to other worlds.
Who is Mireia Oriol’sreal-life partner?
Currently, Oriol is dating a Spanish actor David Solans best known for playing Bruno Bergeron in the TV show “Merl.” On February 5, 2019, the actress uploaded an image on her Instagram account, sparking speculation about their relationship.

How did Mireia Oriol’s prepare for her role on The Girl in the Mirror?
In an interview with DSCENE magazine Editor Maja Vuckovic, the actress says that personally she enjoys independent film very much and that even though she typically avoids thrillers and science fiction films, her role as Alma in The Girl in the Mirror has shown her that these genres offer much more than just imagination and spooky scenes.
According to the actress, filming Alma was the most extreme, stunning, and intense experience of her life. She acknowledges that it has completely changed both her professional and personal lives. The actor gave her everything to the plot and the characters, even losing track of her own life for several months.
After the shooting, she claimed that when she returned to reality, she discovered that life had gone on without her. The actress has been attempting to return to it and respect the things that have actually mattered to her for the past few months.
She goes on to say that the show is really different from other shows that people have seen. And she says it really, not because she is involved. The actress adds that she thinks the show’s director is brilliant in her admiration of him. She also lauds the writing, calling it remarkable and praising the story’s beauty, emotion, and brilliance as well as the way it addresses not only more typical topics like friendship or maturity, but also others like grief, letting go, and discovering and confronting one’s identity. She believes that Sergio, the director, is the ideal manager for a team that is incredibly devoted. She thinks they came up with something special, like a tale.
Oriol said that she went a little bit wild while preparing for her role in The Girl in the Mirror. She spent a lot of time talking to Sergio and researching everything. He is the director and showrunner, so he understood every single detail about everything, plus he has an incredible talent for creativity, so it was amazing. The actress also collaborated with Yasmina Rincón, a friend and acting teacher. She found Alma to be a significant task right away, and she even experienced moments of insecurity.
