NEW! “The House of Dreams and Nightmares”
NEW! “The House of Dreams and Nightmares”, digital collage, 2022. This is the very first collage of the new year! I based it on an older piece called “Homecoming” from 2016, which I was never satisfied with. Although the new piece has a completely different story!

About digital collages
“Rebel City” by Mia Makila, 2020. Digital collage.
As a digital collage artist, I can work on a piece for months (on-and-off), sometimes almost a year. When I was still creating paper collages, I was limited to the physical properties of the cut-outs – but Photoshop liberates me in my creative flow (I can enlarge, crop, distort, edit, copy, invert the cut-outs etc) and I love it! And no, digital art is NOT made by computers! And no, when digital art is printed, the prints are not ‘posters’ but original prints in a limited edition (signed and numbered)!
The first above is the finished version of “Rebel City” (2020) and the two below are earlier drafts.
NEW! “Puppet Girl”
“Puppet Girl” digital collage (2020). Soon available.
This one was so much fun to make. In a way it is a self-portrait of how I use to be (a puppet girl for others to manipulate). I have outgrown the chains and nails and I no longer allow anyone to make me feel like a puppet.
NEW! “Blonde Meltdown”
“Blonde Meltdown”, 2020, archival ultrachrome print. Available.
