Mikaya Petros was born in Milan, class of 1964, daughter of the surrealist painter Petros.
She trained in his father's atelier where he made four-handed photographic collages,
pictorial and material works. The meeting in the 70s with Andy Warhol was incisive.
It is in the production, post production and computer graphics house of her maternal
uncle, that the artist has worked since she was a girl in the creation of digital and video
contributions.
“Painting is for me like singing under the shower in a sunshine day” she says.
Her Art investigates, through digital experimentation, the surrealist matrix, giving life to a conceptual and formal research with a breath that deepens the boundary between Reality, Time and Symbolism.
The subjects of her works, created through a digital photographic language, live in a contemporary dream dimension. In her creativity process Symbolism and Time are investigated, broken down and reassembled in an innovative vision.
It's a mirror and parallel reflection of a world yet to be deciphered.
Her works are exhibited in Arte & Virtus, at Expo Fiera di Milano, at the Trieste Biennal, at the Michelangelo Prize Rome Expo and Archivio Mantova Museum, at the Arte Laguna World, at the Dante Alighieri Prize Borghese Palace in Floence and at Dante Academy in London.
