Mikhaela Martin is an Italo-Brazilian artist whose work explores the relationship between art, space, and community. Through public art, murals, and site-responsive interventions, she creates projects that transform spaces and strengthen connections between people and place.
Working internationally across Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America, Mikhaela develops projects for public spaces, cultural institutions, schools, hospitality environments, and urban settings. Her work includes large-scale sports courts, architectural murals, community-led interventions, and cultural initiatives, as well as collaborations with brands and organizations including Netflix, Vans, Sephora, Cartier, New Balance, Kiehl’s, and Movistar.
Growing up surrounded by landscape architecture shaped her understanding of space and continues to influence her artistic language through organic forms, movement, and a strong sensitivity to place. Her practice is informed by the relationship between landscape, architecture, and human experience, creating visual interventions that respond to the identity and character of a site.
Community engagement is a central element of her work. Through collaborations with schools, municipalities, local associations, and vulnerable groups, she develops projects that connect art, education, and social impact.
Alongside her artistic practice, Mikhaela leads the planning, production, and implementation of complex projects internationally, coordinating stakeholders, permits, logistics, budgets, suppliers, and project teams from concept through completion.
By combining artistic vision, design expertise, and project leadership, she creates work that generates lasting cultural, social, and spatial impact.
