Mia Middleton

I’m drawn to the patina of our internal worlds, the trail of memories and projections we drape over our experiences and the moments that expand or break with that trail.

Mia Middleton (b. 1988, London, England; based in Lisbon, Portugal) is an artist whose pictorial works explore interiority, memory and evocation. Middleton’s small-scale paintings capture a tension and threshold between conscious and subconscious, desire and aversion, reality and fantasy. In her intimate freeze-frames, ephemeral moments are stripped of their context and suspended in time, intimating a narrative without creating one and inviting viewers into a psychological framework of uncertainty and discovery. Mia has recently presented work with Roberts Projects LA, Marlborough Gallery London and Cob Gallery London, and will present a solo booth at Miami Basel before her next solo show with COMA in February 2024.
