About Michal Mitak

I am a Virginia-based mixed media artist and poet whose creative journey spans over two decades in both visual and literary arts. My work emerges from a place of memory, movement, and meditation—often inspired by my Moroccan heritage, nature’s quiet rhythms, and the interior landscapes shaped by womanhood, spirituality, and resilience.

I blend floral motifs and swirling circular patterns, layering digital collage with watercolor, pastel, and ink. My art celebrates bold color, intuitive composition, and a deep emotional resonance that reflects the complexities of identity, time, and transformation. Whether honoring ancestral roots, capturing the shifting light of a fall afternoon, or exploring altered states of being, each piece is a conversation between the seen and the sensed.

In addition to painting, I am the author of five poetry chapbooks and an active participant in several regional and international poetry communities. As former founder-publisher and editor of Poetica Publishing and managing editor of Poetica Magazine, I’ve long supported fellow poets in bringing their voices to life. Today, I continue to balance creative and professional pursuits, including my role as marketing director and interior decorator for Prestige Realty and Colley Executive Offices, where I design visual environments for over 400 small business professionals.

Whether I'm working in my studio, curating office spaces, or walking in nature, creativity remains my constant companion. Through art and poetry, I seek to connect—deeply and authentically—with the world around and within.
