miela foster is a creative scientist and multidisciplinary artist based in los angeles, blending her scientific background with her passion for visual storytelling to challenge societal systems and celebrate Blackness. raised by two scientists, miela’s upbringing was shaped by a deep sense of curiosity, where art and creativity became her tools to explore and express the complexities of the world around her.

miela’s work is rooted in abstraction. through these forms, she investigates the fluidity of identity, crafting visions of liberated, authentic, and expansive futures. her art distills complex ideas, emotions, and experiences into universal shapes, allowing space for complexity, fluidity, and multiplicity. each piece evokes deep emotion and encourages reflection on themes of liberation, human connection, and boundless possibility.

her experience in product management at apple (2021–2024), alongside her co-founding of an AI/ML startup in college, has honed her ability to merge creativity with technology. this unique skill set shapes her approach to art and design, allowing her to think across disciplines and create innovative solutions that challenge traditional narratives.

currently, miela is focused on growing her creative lab, foster the studio. the lab combines artistic experimentation with analytical design to craft immersive visual languages that elevate culture and spark introspection. through creating original art, exclusive collections, project collaborations, pattern licensing, and art curation, foster the studio brings unique works to life. her art has been featured in the SF Bayview Newspaper, KQED review, and at Root Division Gallery.

at the heart of foster the studio is a belief in art as intellectualism. miela is committed to building a new system of thought through creative exploration and innovation, believing that art has the power to transform society, provoke reflection, and shape multidimensional futures.
