Forthcoming | Mia Kokkoni

Ingleby is pleased to announce the next artist in our INSTALMENTS series: Mia Kokkoni.
The presentation will launch at the gallery on Wednesday 6 August 2025. 

Mia Kokkoni was born in Greece and studied at Glasgow School of Art, where she has continued to live since graduating in 2022. Mia’s paintings connect to a world of storytelling that suggests folk tales and wistful nostalgia. Painted drily in muted tones, the paintings are both immediately recognisable and yet also otherworldly, populated with a shuffling cast of characters including solitary women, dancers, cloaked figures and horses.

The landscape she depicts is a hybrid of Kokkoni’s immediate experience. Fuelled by the rolling hills and clouds of her adopted Scottish home and yet peppered by clues of her past in the form of a Cypriot tree or Mediterranean flora and fauna. Her paintings describe an imaginary land – but one that is rooted in Scottishness.
