Michael has been connected to art from a young age.\u00a0 <\/span>His mom used to take him to galleries when he was a child and he would bring a drawing pad and some crayons along with him.\u00a0 <\/span>Even though he didn\u2019t study art, after college he began to draw more consistently, developing a style of geometric shapes and detail.\u00a0 <\/span>Michael moved around from France, to South Africa, to Germany and drawing from some of his experiences,\u00a0 <\/span>he started to focus on architecture and nature as his inspiration.\u00a0 <\/span>His girlfriend, Lena, seeing his art decided he should do something with it and they began to work together to create the small company you see today.<\/span><\/p>\n

Michael has always had an eye for detail in nature and life, noticing small and intricate patterns and designs.\u00a0 <\/span>His art developed from this ability, working with patterns and ever smaller details.\u00a0 <\/span>His main medium is brush pen, ink and watercolor although he has incorporated other styles into his art.\u00a0 <\/span>Michael\u2019s experiences in nature and travel are what have inspired most of his work, be it hikes in Nepal, palaces in Morocco or a safari in the Serengeti.\u00a0 <\/span>Through combining this love of nature and detail, Michael creates his unique brand of intricate and vibrantly colored artwork.\u00a0 <\/span>Michael Clarke Art is about returning to nature and finding beauty in every bit of it.<\/span><\/p>\n
