The Poetry and Art of Michal (Mitak) Mahgerefteh
The Van Landingham Gallery
Monthly exhibiting at the gallery!
The gallery is located inside
the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, Virginia
at Old Town by the marina,
studio #311, third floor.
As a visiting artist member since October 2023, I bring a unique experience to the gallery. You can find my signed originals in the bins and occasionally on the walls. I also offer greeting cards and tote bags. But what I truly enjoy is gallery sitting, where I have the pleasure of meeting the exhibiting artists and engaging in conversations with visitors about the art-making process. I invite you to stop by and chat, enjoy the crisp autumn air, and discover a piece of art you won't want to leave behind.

2024 - 2025 Projects
Preparing for 2025 Exhibitions
For my 2025 exhibitions, I’m focused on building a diverse and exciting collection of original artwork. This includes creating vibrant ink paintings that capture movement and emotion through bold colors and fluid techniques. I’m also developing embellished digital floral designs, combining intricate details with watercolor and varnish to add texture and depth.
"Art on the Rocks" Event
"Flapping Wings at Sunset" was selected by the mixologist at Hotel AKA Alexandria to inspire their creation at Art on the Rocks event! The fundraising event is offered by The Art League: "Art on the Rocks 2024 challenges local mixologists and chefs to each create the most artistic cocktail & appetizer pairing, inspired by art!"
The event is on September 26, 2024 06:00PM - 08:30PM
at the Hotel Heron, 699 Prince Street Alexandria, VA 22314
Grateful for the opportunity!
