I explore design, space, and abstraction through simplification, refinement, and expressive brushwork, aiming to create paintings that feel experienced rather than described. – Michael King

Michael’s paintings begin outdoors through direct engagement with the landscape, where shifting light, changing weather, and the physical experience of place become essential parts of the process. These studies evolve into larger studio works that balance structure with spontaneity.
