Collection: Mikaella Socratous

Mikaella Socratous (b. 1997) is a multidisciplinary artist, who crafts surreal, psychological landscapes where perception fractures and meaning remains fluid. With a background in Interior Architecture, Classical Realism, and Art Direction, Socratous bridges these with psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience to participate in the puzzle-making that holds them together. At the core of her practice is speculative world-building; an excavation of internal landscapes shaped by memory, dream logic, and emotional residue. These realms, drawn from mutant steampunk aesthetics and cognitive dissonance, blend rusted futures with organic anomalies, forming environments that feel both alien and intimately known.

She engages with the visual language of spatial tension and curated chaos, using installation, drawing, narrative, and video to probe the thresholds of consciousness, myth, and machine. Currently, she is working on a new body of work continuing her interrogation in exploring omniversal space, affective memory, and the aesthetics of the unknown.
