Artist and philosopher Mia Ntenta joins the podcast. Ntenta is a visual artist working across painting, sculpture, and installation.

Ntenta is one of several artists I interviewed from Spring/Break Art Fair 2025.

Ntenta shares how her philosophy background led her to explore ideas through painting and sculpture. Ntenta explains how her visual language and symbols clarify complex philosophical ideas.

Ntenta breaks down her ongoing, expansive work 'The Omegans Project'. The Omegans Project, an expansive and ongoing series begun by Ntenta in 2019. This work reveals Ntenta's dystopian world and her symbolic language for deconstructing existence.

Later, Ntenta discusses how her symbols’ meanings evolve across different works.

Ntenta uses art to spark curiosity and make philosophy accessible.

Topics Covered:

  • Transitioning from philosophy to visual arts as a new medium of thought
  • Using painting and sculpture to make complex ideas more approachable
  • Creating and evolving a personal symbolic universe across artworks
  • Strategies for communicating philosophical concepts with viewers
  • Recent exhibitions and sharing work with the public for the first time

📍 Discover more about Ntenta’s work on Instagram (@miantenta) and at her website.
