The Poetry and Art of Michal (Mitak) Mahgerefteh
Original Indian ink paintings & Memoir in Verse
Art by Michal Mitak
I’m so glad you’re here. Through layered color, hand-embellished details, and expressive works in Indian and acrylic ink, I invite you to experience the beauty of what is fleeting and the quiet joy found in creative abundance. My poetry books, written as memoir in verse, share the same themes of memory, transformation, and resilience. Each painting and poem is a celebration of nature, emotion, and the stories we carry as they shift, bloom, and fade.
Floral art collections
My floral collections are inspired by the vast flower fields that stretched behind my grandmother's house, where changing seasons, light, and color left a lasting impression on me. Rather than documenting individual blooms, I explore their atmosphere, movement, and quiet beauty through a variety of artistic styles, each offering a different interpretation of the same enduring source of inspiration.
New Poetry Collection 2027
Welcome to the literary side of my creative world. For me, painting and writing are deeply connected—where my brush leaves off, my words begin. These published poetry collections serve as a written mirror to the exact same themes of nature, memory, and fleeting beauty that you see captured in my artwork. Next poetry chapbook coming April 2027.
