RECOGNITION
Micaela Cometa (b. Italy) is a neo-expressionist painter based in Lanzarote, Canary Islands. Her work is deeply rooted in the body, the ritual, and organic transformation.
Using natural materials such as volcanic ash, salt, menstrual blood, and wine, she creates intensely textured paintings that blur the line between sculpture and canvas.
Her practice focuses on memory, female power, and raw vulnerability—every piece is a threshold, an invocation, a wound turned into vision.
Micaela has exhibited in Berlin, Miami, and Art Basel, and her works are part of private collections across Europe.
Each painting is not only an image, but a residue of a lived process: layered, intimate, alive.

Los Colores de la Isla -Tias 2022
"The colours of the island" (2020-2022), I have made it in Lanzarote, my adopted homeland. In it I have tried to represent my significant psychological experiences by pouring them (through painting) into dialogues that are part of a silent script of the volcanic landscape, apparently disconnected from each other. These charge the images with mystery, tension and present a drama present within me, in which each work acts as an instant of an elongated dream in which timeless figures are like wounds of memory.
"Los Colores De La Isla", is conceived with the desire that the painting contains, through the material form of the components both visible and invisible to the eyes of the viewer. This work is an intimate and very personal attempt to give body to the nature that governs the island of Lanzarote, its volcanic, oceanic and desert energy that influences life on this fortunate island.
