Michael Prestia

It all began with a deep love for art and an unrelenting passion for motorsport racing—especially Formula 1, the pinnacle of the sport. Combining these two worlds, I found a unique way to bring my vision to life through art on wood frames. My work is a reflection of the speed, intensity, and emotion of racing moments, captured and immortalized with vivid creativity.
I experiment with a variety of techniques, including traditional painting, collage, brushwork, and palette knife application. Each piece is a fusion of different methods, blending paint and texture to form dynamic, layered compositions. My goal is to evoke the essence of a moment—whether it’s the split-second tension of a corner or the raw power of acceleration—using a mix of mediums to create depth and movement.
The combination of motorsport's precision and the freedom of artistic expression allows me to tell a story through every artwork. Each piece is not only a representation of a moment in time but also an exploration of the emotions that define those moments, capturing the energy and passion of Formula 1 racing on a canvas of wood.
