Bio Yiorgos Michael is self-taught visual artist and poet. His work is organized into series of stories inspired by his personal experiences. These stories blend images collected with an intentional photographic process. Yet, he embraces serendipity, allowing room for unexpected moments that introduce elements of surprise and discovery. The fusion of the planned and unexpected leads to juxtapositions of the representational against the abstract, the real against the mythical, creating a tension between ambiguity and clarity that invites the viewer to engage with the narrative.
