Still Drawing

Michael Jewula is an author and painter. For the past several years, he sought ancient wisdom. His search brought him to Mexico, Peru and Brazil, where he studied with shamans and indigenous healers. Because most of his studies were conducted without words, he now relates his revelations with images. Jewula’s images are striking depictions of spirits, animals and mythological worlds. Here one sees apparitions from the beyond: spirits that intermingle with abstract material. His pictures ply for as deeper meaning - answers to questions regarding the unknown. Though Jewula does not offer answers literally, he offers a glimpse into what the mind may conjure up within a dreamlike space. Both engaging and seductive, Jewula’s highly crafted renderings use a reductive palette to insinuate a kind of illuminated existence. He has shown his art and lectured in major cities in the United States, Malta and Costa Rica. Today he travels sharing his wisdom, exhibiting his paintings and creating transformative intuitive portraits for individuals.
