Mikhaël is a self-taught Sydney based artist, photographer and co-author
He has been drawing and painting for over 35 years. His unique intuitive “style” if you can call it that way, is derived from that he works from the spiritual heart.
He paints using both left and right hands, and most of his works are a combination of impasto and wet-on-wet, using palette knife, brush and other tools.
He paints with traditional oils and also likes to use textile paints as it provides him with greater freedom and flexibility on canvas, cotton and silk (such as T-Shirts and designer clothes), allowing to create different kind of effects.
Mikhaël is a keen photographer who had his first dark-room “exposure” when he was 14 years old, and was the co-author on the "What the Future of Humanity Could Be!".
He has also embraced new technology, allowing him new ways of creative expression.
