Mikaela Riss is a fine art painter working primarily in acrylics and oils on canvas.

Her practice is defined by a layered geometric style, creating compositions that resemble painted collages where form, depth & rhythm unfold through successive layers of colour and shape.

With a background in architecture, Mikaela draws on spatial thinking and structural principles to inform their visual language. Influences from pioneers such as Lissitzky and Kandinsky, as well as the visionary architectural forms of Zaha Hadid, echo throughout their work—balancing precision with expressive abstraction.

Exploring the dialogue between geometry and emotion, Mikaela’s paintings invite viewers to experience a constructed yet fluid world where lines, planes, and colors converge in evolving harmony and architectural concepts translated onto canvas.
