Michelle Hold's paintings are a balance between aesthetic contemplation and poetic narrative. Her work is profound, lyrical, euphoric, energetic, and yet has a pensive energy that goes far beyond expressionism. For Michelle, color is a living and pulsating energy, reflecting her expression and feeling at the time of painting. She creates abstract works that hold a special connection with the viewer, aiming to bring beauty, positive vibrations, and energy to her audience. Her time studying architecture has influenced her construction methods, creating images with multiple layering, while her experience in the textile industry has informed her balanced use of color. Born in Germany, Michelle has lived in Paris, New York, Hong Kong, London, and is now based in Italy. She has exhibited solo shows throughout Europe and China, participated in group shows worldwide, and in international art fairs in Berlin, London, Milan, New York, Miami, Athens, and Vilnius. Her works are privately collected around the world.
