Michael James is an established figurative painter, whose works grace collections around the world. 

 

After studying under master painters and taking major influences from artists such as Richard Schmid and Robert Liberace, paintings express both a confidence in their brushwork and a subtlety in their subject matter. 

 

Michael's pieces captivate and mesmerize viewers with their accurate anatomical elements that create an underlying rhythmic flow, no matter the theme. 

 

By way of his art, he offers an experience that causes observers to ponder deeper thoughts about humanity and explore the liberating essence of mortality. 

 

Currently, Michael is based in Brooklyn, NY where he continues to create stunningly beautiful paintings that portray an honest reflection of human emotion.
