News: Group exhibition Binnenvaart, 18 June - 12 July, 2026 KunstWerkt Schiedam

Mia’s artistic practice involves painting, drawing, animation, printmaking and analogue photography. In her paintings, collages and mix-media drawings, she is interested in abstraction, gesture and the working of visual design principles such as colour, contrast, rhythm, balance. Her works echo fascination for surfaces and the concepts such as subjectivity of an image, trace and indexicality of the (photographic) print and of drawing.
