Motivated by his introspective observations, he explores with the use of various supports (canvas, paper, reclaimed materials) and mediums (oil, acrylic, watercolour, pigment, bronze and charcoal). With painting at the centre of his practice, Michaels often paints from memory merging bold colours with figurative aspects. Other pieces takes a critical view of social, and cultural issues from a level-eye view. In my work, I try to deconstruct my thoughts, then reconstruct them into new conceptually layered pieces. I believe that our thoughts, imagination, feelings, dreams, and vision are in itself works of art. \r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eHis love for art began at a young age, However he didn’t start creating works of art until his late 50ths, Michael has participated in several major exhibition and some of his works are in private collections at home and abroad. Most recently his works were showcased at Miami art Basel 2025 and VENICE INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eARTIST’S STATEMENT\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith each stroke of the brush and every manipulation of shape, I engage in a profound dialogue with my audience, inviting them to immerse themselves in the kaleidoscope of emotions, histories, and narratives embedded within my work. My work is abstract, for in abstraction lies the freedom to transcend the limitations of form and shape.\r\u003cbr\u003eThrough layers of pigment and texture, I create a visual poetry that dances on the canvas, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in the rhythm of hues, where each hue speaks volumes, each stroke whispers secrets of the soul.\r\u003cbr\u003eForm, for me, serves as a conduit for expression, a means to shape the intangible into tangible, to give voice to the silent whispers of the soul. It is through the interplay of lines, curves, and textures that navigate the contours of the arts. Each contour, each gesture, invites viewers to engage with the nuances of art in all its richness and diversity. \r\u003cbr\u003eColor, meanwhile, emerges as a symphony of hues, each shade imbued with its own significance and resonance. \r\u003cbr\u003eFrom the bold, assertive strokes of crimson to the soft, introspective whispers of indigo, I harness the power of color to evoke mood, provoke thought, and challenge preconceptions. Through my palette, I seek to disrupt the monochrome narratives that often frame identity. Infusing my compositions with the vibrancy, dynamism, and complexity of art is experienced. Together, form and color converge to create a visual language that transcends the constraints of words, inviting viewers into a world where the boundaries between artist and audience, past and present, dissolve into the ether. In this space of shared resonance and reflection, I endeavor to spark conversations, provoke introspection, and foster connections that transcend the limitations of race, geography, and time. For me, art is not merely an act of creation but a vessel for transformation, a means to envision new worlds and new possibilities, where the full spectrum of blackness can flourish and thrive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"cd-22","title":"CD #22","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMixed media on
