Product description
Already during college, Michiel begins working for himself as a designer and illustrator. With his hyper-realistic airbrush work, he manages to amaze many a spectator in disbelief. Entirely self-taught, he reached an exceptional level. However, the challenge of realistic illustration slowly disappeared.
Together with his younger brother he started a company that produces and supplies advertising signs to real estate agencies. They do this following a beautiful and innovative design by Michiel. An explosive and successful start to this business meant that Michiel could do little with his creative talent for a long time.
Still, the smell of paint continues to attract. And when some time becomes available again, he crawls behind his easel. There is a big difference, however. The airbrush cardboard is exchanged for a large pure white linen canvas. Everyone jots down something on a piece of paper during a phone call.
Michiel: "I always drew weird and funny animals, and kept them in a big box to do something with them someday." Someday has arrived in his case.
In the period after this, he no longer creates commissioned realistic work, but for his own good, crudely painted colorful beasts. Using his own imagination as his only tool. Still, the distinct and sometimes complicated techniques betray the craftsman. With only 10 to 15 works of art a year, for which a lot of interest soon arose, a solo exhibition is never realized. For about 5 years, the artist in him has to share time with the entrepreneur. Then Michiel is clear. Art is an endless challenge. In early 2002, he slowly withdrew from his business to focus entirely on painting starting in 2003.
