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.
