Sydney Mural Artist

Michael Black is a Sydney-based artist, who creates original art. His murals, prints, and private commissions allow him to capture moments in time through a variety of mixed media techniques. Michael is inspired by discovered landscapes, encountered people and personal experiences responding to subjects in a dynamic and expressive manner. Michael explores human experiences and how classic story models symbolically parallel our own life. Utilizing mixed media painting and drawing Michael provides us with a variety of Abstract landscape scenes that create a visual story to illustrate a variety of scenarios played out on the world's stage.

Having completed a BA in Fine Arts (Design) at UNSW & Design in Sydney, Australia, Michael has been featured in both solo and group exhibitions. He is passionate about Public art and has done a number of large scale public works.

Michael creates in collaboration with architects, interior designers, stylists, property developers, retailers, and galleries, bringing his work into a variety of spaces. He places a strong emphasis on the viewer and experiments with everyday objects, spaces, people, and places, often altering the meaning and aesthetics of these forms.

I draw a lot of my inspiration from nature and in particular the Australian landscape. I often go on sketching bushwalks to find locations to sketch and then bring them back to the studio to either create artwork for a client or to make a new painting.
