  • Biography:
  • Michael Maier is a German painter/digital artist now based in Barcelona, Spain.His work is a combination of painting,collage and graffiti based on his own hermetic universe of symbols. Having no art training, he never tries to deal with the real world through drawing .He is obsessed with deconstructing the images and language of his fragmented inner world...... June , 2009 Conrad Wilde Gallery at 210 North 4th Avenue in Tucson, Arizona.......... August 2009 Philadelphia at 12 Gates Gallery......... 2009 Finalist Aqua Art Miami.......... ExhibitionDistinguished Finalist for the December 2009 NYAXE/Emerson Gallery Show in California......... "All my life I was painting. As a very young boy I painted in the sand ,used dirt and other materials ..painted on the walls and on the body. Then later at school I remember that I developed a very free ?strange?style...which nearly nobody liked ,but my art teacher loved it. At the age of 17 I started painting with oil ....I loved to overpaint the colors with many many layers...and used other materials (like cleaning products that I found at home....toothpaste etc) and mixed it with the oil and acyl.... I loved to watch how these substances changed the painting.. Sometimes it seemed that the window cleaner or other chemical products changed and destroyed the original painting in a wonderful magical way.Out of control! The painting was never finished...it was in permanent movement and change..(sometimes parts of oil felt down or there where holes in the canvas...) I love changes and destruction.(because it is always a new surprising wonderful beginning!) The most of my paintings I destroyed later...because they lost their meaning.. The meaning was the creation and the fun of it. I never was thinking to sell these works or hang them on any wall. I never saw myself as an Artist.(....what really is an Artist...?...strange word!) I paint very very fast...a huge work is always finish in max. one hour!! I can not talk ..I can not speak... If is is not "shooting out?",I stop it and destroy it.Since the beginning I always used symbols and written words as part of my work... In a state of total alignment they float out of me... What does they mean? There is never a meaning or an idea in my paintings....and any mental interpretation is useless. You have to feel it!!! Lately I love to work digital...It is a new and wonderful experience. Perhaps in the future I will print my digital works and then overpaint and destroy them like i did when I was 17."
