Mikhayl “Mikha” Dominguez aka Mikhamik (Caracas, May 12, 1987) is a Queer non binary latinx Venezuelan visual artist, photographer and sculptor who has resided in Minneapolis since 2014. His early career was spent working in the Venezuelan national television industry where he experienced state censorship under the dictatorship of President Hugo Chávez. In response, Dominguez left Venezuela, and joined the more than six million other Venezuelans who fled the militaristic and authoritarian Chávez regime.
Using techniques drawn from self-portrait, collage, make-up, performance art, photography and sculptures Dominguez explores themes of gender, the body, religion and the reinterpretation of reality. He invents a new visual language by superimposing everyday elements onto the human body.
Under the artistic name "Mikhamik" has developed themes on sexuality, gender, religion, and pop culture in their work. The use of non-conventional materials reconfigures the sense of aesthetics and the meaning of the figures, characters and their objects in the universe created by @mikhamik
