It is a passion of mine to immerse myself in Nature and simply observe. The rhythms of the tides, the interval of the swell, the direction of the wind, the fish feeding in the lagoon, the parrots singing in the trees, the sound of the coconuts as they hit the ground and more... It is as if an orchestra is performing an original piece of music in perfect harmony, one which will never again be repeated again in the exact same way. Northern Sumatra is both beautiful and intense. In this region, everything is very alive and vibrant both on land and in the Ocean. I'm fascinated by Reefs and how they are formed, how they function, who they inhabit, how they make waves break.. When the tide goes out and the Reef is exposed, I like to take raw canvas, get it wet, and place it onto the exposed Reef. I fit the canvas to the Reefs patterns and then use paint to capture the designs. I like to choose colors that represent the environment and this initial imprint becomes the foundation for what I call my 'Reef Paintings.' This series of Reef Paintings from Northern Sumatra reflects the regions natural and flourishing ecosystems. To read more on the 'Reef Painting, N. Sumatra' series, you can find it in the descriptions of the other individual works from the journey.

Michael Torquato deNicola is a world traveling and award winning surfer, artist and filmmaker. Mike grew up making sense of the world through surfing and art. Born and raised in Southern California, he is a life long surfer with much of his inspiration coming from the Ocean and his experiences around the globe in locations such as Indonesia, Iceland, Samoa, Peru, The Galapagos Islands and more. Mike started surfing at the age of 12 and was competing with the US team by age 19. As the first pro surfer from the US team to graduate from College, he learned to negotiate between his athletic and creative pursuits, and the business of surf. Mike has always designed the work on his surfboards, but it was only when he started traveling and competing internationally that his work developed into the style it is today. Mike's boards tell the story of his relationship with the Oceans from around the globe. If Mike's surf style can be called fluid his large and colorful mixed media pieces resonate the same fluidity in a layered collage of rhythms, patterns and forms. Some of his favorite ventures have come from working with Marie Claire, The Olson Company and creating and producing Red Bull's '5X' series, seen on Fox, NBC and Fuel TV which feature a new format of competitive surfing. Mike produced and art directed the award winning documentary 'The Westsiders' and more recently the feature film 'Chapter and Verse,' released in 2017. Mikes visual works have appeared in galleries, art fairs, film festivals and TV screens around the world over the past 20 years.
