Michael is an artist from Toronto who has exhibited his artwork in Milan, Barcelona, Madrid and Paris. 

His artwork, made up of soft hues and gentle colours, is sophisticated and characterized by raw beauty. The colours are transparent and delicate while the general atmosphere of the work is intense and vivid. Different levels of shades give dynamism to the structure and to the use of rapid brushstrokes.

Artist Statement:

“I am strongly influenced by atmosphere and ambience. My penchant for travel, unleashed a passion for colour and shape, line and form, structure and experimentation. 

I initially recorded my visual contemplations on canvas and paper using traditional tools, but my technique has evolved to a more technologically based mode of producing work. 

Movement has always been an inherent part of my practice, allowing me to easily transition to a new chosen medium. My digital canvas is free of the encumberments of tradition that are associated with the mores of painting. 

My process consists of translating thoughts into documents. It is based on seeing beyond what is obvious, extracting elements from recorded spanning from the mundane to the unexpected.

My work is non-representational, possessing an interpretive, emotive and expressive voice. The depicted forms are softly contoured and refined, driven by intuition. Lines are drawn to create contrast, dynamism and energy.”
