Mikaya Petros was born in Milan, Italy, class of 1964, daughter of the surrealist painter Petros. She trained in her father’s atelier where she made four- handed photo collages, pictorial and material works. Her encounter in the 1970s with Andy Warhol was incisive. It was in her maternal uncle’s production, post-production and computer graphics house that the artist worked from a young age creating digital and video contributions. “Painting for me is like singing in the shower on a sunny day,” she says.

Through digital experimentation, her art investigates the Surrealist matrix, giving rise to conceptual and formal research with a breath that deepens the boundary between Reality, Time and Symbolism. The subjects of her works, realized through a digital photographic language, live in a contemporary dreamlike dimension. In her creative process Virtual Reality and Temporal Spaces are investigated, decomposed and reassembled in a neo-contemporary vision.

Her works are in the Permanent Collections of Sartori Archive in Mantova, Ca' Pesaro Museum in Venice, Como Landscape Museum, Cica Museum in Korea, The Art Center Dover New Hampshire USA, Maritime Museum of Bordeux in France and the Permanent Collection in the Serpone Foundation in Rome, Mykonos and Syros Museums in Greece, Janina Monkute Mark and Moca Museums.
