Leitmotiv / Leitmotif 2019 - 2020
Characterized by the combination of red and blue (+ black and white), this series created by the artist in 2019 strikes with its visual impact and quickly becomes a successful series. It all started with a detail on a previous work by the artist. The detail becomes an entire painting. The painting becomes a series.
Michele says he never really saw an interest in working with diptych, triptych or "moretychs".
A sentence or a word cut in two or more parts settles in the work and becomes its heart. This quotes or words are carefully chosen by the artist and accompany him on his artistic and personal journey. They show a direction. Give hope. Bring light. They act as leitmotif.
