Micael Magalhães is a Brazilian-born, New York City based multimedia artist for over 10 years.
Drawing on his myriad experiences as an immigrant, a person of color, a thinker, and a creator, Magalhães restlessly reinvents himself through his art. Using an expressionist approach, he merges reality and nirvana into artistry, crafting vigorously colored canvases and interventions pulsing with energy. Magalhães work is a palimpsest; imagined figures cross over into the perceived world and back again, offering a glimpse at the artist's mind.
