Mikhaela Martin is an Italo-Brazilian multidisciplinary artist and designer whose practice bridges painting, illustration, and large-scale public art with community-driven engagement. With experience across Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, her work is deeply informed by cultural context, urban environments, and social narratives. Her practice centers on the relationship between art, space, and people, often developed through workshops, educational initiatives, and collaborative processes that actively involve local communities. Mikhaela’s projects frequently focus on empowering underrepresented voices, particularly women and young people, using art as a tool for inclusion and transformation. In collaboration with the Barcelona City Council, she led art workshops for women in vulnerable situations, culminating in the painting of local shop façades. These projects were rooted in close dialogue with neighborhood communities. In parallel, she has developed educational and participatory art programs in schools, ensuring that students’ perspectives directly shape the final artworks. Notable projects include the transformation of a basketball court in Reus, where students were invited to reinterpret the court’s line art while Nina Simone’s Feeling Good played throughout the process, contributing to a meaningful shift in how the school was perceived within the local community. At Farigola School in Barcelona, Mikhaela led a mural project that began with workshops in art history and spray-painting techniques, allowing children to co-create the final mural through drawings and collective discussion. In Madrid, she transformed a street basketball court, exploring themes of perseverance and resilience. The project concluded with a community game organized by Netflix and Movistar, and the court continues to serve as an active public space for the local community. Her work reflects a strong sensitivity to space shaped by her background within a family of landscape architects. Through public art and collaborative practices, Mikhaela uses visual language to transform spaces and foster lasting community impact. Her clients include international brands such as Netflix, Movistar, Vans, New Balance, Sephora, Cartier, and Kiehl’s, for whom she has produced bespoke artworks, brand activations, and large-scale installations.
