Mike Halem

About the Artist
Mike Halem was born on November 12, 1960, in the ancient city of El Fayoum, Egypt, where the sands of history whisper stories of the past. After spending several years immersed in the rich cultures of Austria and Italy, he made his way to the United States in 1985, where he pursued his academic journey at the United States International University in San Diego. There, he earned an MBA and advanced to ABD in Strategic Management. But it was in January 2000 that Mike truly began his artistic journey, dedicating himself to the study of painting and drawing at various community colleges in San Diego, where he continues to evolve as an artist.

Medium
For Mike, art is not confined to a single medium; his canvas becomes a playground for endless possibilities. Working in oils, acrylics, and watercolors, he finds liberation in the diversity of tools at his disposal. He believes that limiting himself to one medium would restrict the flow of his creative process, as each idea emerges in its own unique form, inviting exploration through a different lens. Each work is a new adventure, a journey in itself.

Inspiration
Mike’s art is a profound exploration of his personal odyssey—an intimate dialogue with his past, his struggles...
