Homage to Giotto Painting by Isadore Michas

Isadore Michas is a Greek/Canadian artist residing in Guatemala for more than 10 years. My background is in Industrial design and this informs my approach to composing my work and the aesthetic of the finished paintings. Influences are varied as a result of this approach. Abstract paintings of mid 20th century masters play a strong role in the compositions and usage of color. I incorporate a strong influences of both Bauhaus, Futurist and Opart moments in my work coupled with organic patterning through the use of free form geometries. I use a texturing that is unique in each cell I paint coupled with subtle gradations of colors. The juxtaposition of structure and randomness is a strong feature of my work.
