Born in 1986, MIKA ELA is a contemporary artist with a background in architecture. Her work explores colour, form and the way simple lines can shape our perception of space.

​

Influenced by her architectural background, she approaches each painting as a composition of shapes, proportions and colour. Using repeated vertical strokes of varying thickness, she builds abstract forms that shift between structure and spontaneity.

​

The lines are deliberately repetitive but never identical. Small variations, interruptions and imperfections give each composition its own rhythm and character.

​

Bold colours meet softer tones, while geometric shapes emerge through the arrangement of individual strokes.

Her paintings reflect an interest in the balance between precision and freedom. From a distance, the compositions appear as blocks of colour and defined shapes. Up close, the individual lines, textures and subtle irregularities become visible.
