Regarde-moi . Look at me. Painting

Michaël was born in Bucarest (Romania), on October 1982, 31st. Now living in France since his very young ages, he went to high school where he studied international trade. After different works in the commercial sector he starts to paint in 2005 in Normandie, the famous region which inspired grand artists such as Monet, Degas or Renoir . Michaël is a self taught artist and he likes to remind that there's no need to have art knowledge to know how to look at an art piece and to appreciate it. Attracted by the acrylic material, he creates his very first painting in his gardens during summertime, which explains the taste for powerful and shinny colors. Inspiration comes from a true freedom of being and thinking. Talking with the artist is like counting stories and searching ideals. He says : “Life is made of what you do and who you are but also in what you dream of and expect” Paris offers so much inspiration and the city gives a lot of strength and authenticity that’s why he usually spends time in the Montparnasse neighborhood, well known for artists’ life of the 20th century. According to Michaël, Dali and Modigliani are one of the best painters. Using different tools like spatules, sponges, knives, he can also create only with his hands directly on the canvas.
