I am an artist working in Los Angeles, California and currently represented by the Orlando Gallery. I work in several mediums, Oil, Acrylic, Tempera, Pastel, Charcoal, Ink and Pencil. I also work in a variety of styles which at times are combined. I am planning a graphic series using a combination of printing techniques as well as expanding my painting mediums. To see more pieces just click on the "website link" listed below. There you will find an extended gallery and links to other sites which feature my work.
Thank you for your visit.

Sincerely,

Mike Michaels

Education and biography
I am a self taught artist who learns thru my own initiative and the study of the Masters. I also stay current with new artists and galleries in my area and artists around the world thru the internet.


For the past year I have been showing exclusively at the Orlando Gallery in Los Angeles, California USA. Please contact them if you are interested in purchasing work or have any questions.

Bio:

Born in Phoenix, Arizona his family moved to southern California when he was 9 years old. A self-taught artist who at the age of 15 was first inspired to draw in a High School art class. He has also lived in Alaska, Hawaii, San Francisco and was part of the emerging downtown Los Angeles art scene of the 1980's, where he lived and worked. With a good understanding of European, Asain and American masters, he works in a variety of styles, techniques and mediums which he combines to push his own art and vision forward.




Artist Statement:

In my work I seek to express a strength of character and soul through a balance and emphasis of contrasts. I use and offset colors, blacks, whites, bold and delicate lines, realism and abstractions to orchestrate this. If done right, a work should dole out a good dose of humanism along with what it is trying to convey. This is what I am striving for, not just a academic exercise or an avant-garde intellect or even something just cleaver. But a human exchange and not a perfection because we are far from perfect and life is all about contrasts.
