I lived in the Peruvian Amazon between 2012 and 2014, and I spent the majority of 2012 in a jungle hut during my shamanic apprenticeship. Most nights, swarms of fireflies would often surround the hut, illuminating their golden light trails against the darkened outlines of the forest behind them. I sat in complete awe and wonder observing them for hours for many nights on end. For me it was a very profound and truly wonderful experience. As human beings we don't live very long, in terms of cosmic time, and so I found it to be very metaphorical to think of each of us as a firefly at night, making our own distinct trails of brilliant yellow light in the darkness of night skies, for a brief moment in eternity. I've always admired Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock's early work, in which they often employed only two colours to make very dramatic and striking paintings. i was thinking about some of these early works of theirs whilst creating this painting. This is an acrylic painting on canvas supplied with fitted hanging gear and it will be packaged in a crate for transportation.

Micheal’s artistic practice encompasses a painterly spiritual cosmology, in which the journey of inner evolution and growth is repeatedly explored. Employing the full spectrum of abstractionist modes of representation, his work surveys the depths of the collective unconscious through subtle allusions to personal experiences of transformation. Aesthetically informed by Post-Impressionism, Dadaism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism, Micheal Haran works across a wide variety of 2D media with a focus on oil or acrylic on canvas. He often merges the verbal and the visual, a process through which he either distils and unites philosophical ideas with pictorial symbolism, or playfully engages in themes of dreams, inner landscapes, and the realm of the soul. Conceptually, the artist is continuously inspired by his deeply transformative experiences with shamanism, notions of wisdom associated with ancient cultures, the archaeology of the sacred, and a plethora of musical genres and the Beat Movement writers. The promise of a calmer inner life and the desire for a more humanitarian world permeate his paintings, which instils feelings of tranquillity, peace, and optimism. Micheal lived in Iquitos, in the Peruvian Amazon, for two and a half years. During this time he developed a strong connection with Amazonia and its indigenous peoples. This passion has led him to dedicate himself to both producing art and raising funds for the protection of the Amazon and other ecological biomes. Love is at the very core of Micheal’s practice. Be it love for life or love for art making, love is always made visible in his canvases: dreamlike images of flowers, in situ landscapes or ocean scenes, poetic abstract inner visions, and bold written messages. In all of its possible forms of manifestation, the theme of love underscores and drives Micheal’s oeuvre. Micheal Haran studied Fine Art at The Slade School of Fine Art, UCL from 1989 to 1991. Micheal lives and works in London and his work in held in many private collections internationally.
