→ about

Michaela Sampas (b. 2002 San Jose) is an artist living in San Francisco, CA. Her work examines the body’s relationship to land, looking at natural forms and symbiotic processes, tantric shapes and matriarchal geometry. 
Through abstraction, her interest in land can expand into the transcendental, uncovering unseen connections between amorphous life forms, from micro to macro. 
The act of painting allows access to the innate knowledge of the body, building composition through the tension between awareness and intuition. 

She received her BFA in Painting and Drawing from California College of the Arts in 2025 and has recently exhibited at Pt. 2 gallery.
