Mika Zebrick Krimsky, also known as MikaMika, was born in 1987 in Kharkiv, Ukraine, amidst the societal upheaval of the Soviet Union’s collapse. After moving to Israel in 1995, Mika's journey through complex cultural landscapes has profoundly shaped her art. In 2018, she graduated with a master’s degree from Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem, eventually leading her to New York CityHere, Mika’s creative practice has continued to evolve, merging personal history, artistic curiosity, and a fascination with technology into a unique visual language.

Mika's work focuses on a vivid and layered dialogue with artificial intelligence, which has emerged as both a collaborator and an instrument in her artistic process. Her series explores a synthesis of human intuition and machine learning, blending spontaneity with computational precision. By combining traditional mediums like ink, acrylic, and oil with hand-collaged, AI-generated images, Mika creates pieces that embody both organic textures and algorithmic structure. This approach allows her to probe questions about the essence of authorship, identity, and censorship in a digital age.

At the core of Mika’s practice is a deep interest in the relationship between control and surrender, particularly as it relates to the human-machine interaction. She views her work with AI as a form of co-creation, where she orchestrates the input but allows the algorithm to surprise and challenge her perspective. This collaborative tension reveals a blurring of lines between artist and tool. Mika believes technology is a powerful brush and incorporates it in her process together with classic drawing, painting and collaging.

Each piece in this series is a meditation on empathy, connection, and presence in an increasingly synthetic world. Mika’s art invites viewers into a realm where the familiar and the unknown coexist, where art and technology merge in ways that are both intimate and unsettling. By challenging AI to interpret and perhaps even "understand" her vision, she confronts the evolving role of technology in shaping not only our artistic landscapes but also our notions of self and other.

In her work, Mika seeks to create more than images—she seeks to spark a conversation about what it means to be creator in a world where digital creations increasingly mirror and influence us. Through her exploration, she opens a window into a future where art becomes a dialogue not just with ourselves, but with the technologies we create to expand and challenge our understanding of the world and each other.
