ARTIST STATEMENT

Michael Schwartz is an abstract painter who began his

career in the film and television industry in Toronto

He graduated from York University's film school and

built a successful career in the Canadian

commercial industry.

Eventually his passion for art led him to transition

to a career as an artist.

Born in Toronto to immigrant parents, he grew up in

a diverse ethnic neighbourhood which had a strong

influence on his work.

His paintings often reflect the complexity

and diversity of his personal experiences and are

inspired by the work of Rothko, De Kooning, Pollock and

Hartigan, all part of the abstract expressionist movement.

Schwartz's paintings are known for bold brushstrokes,

dynamic compositions, and effective use of colour.

Being self-taught has allowed Michael to approach

his craft with a sense of uninhibited exploration.

He is not bound by formal techniques or preconceived

styles, but rather guided by creative instinct.

This freedom allows him to push the boundaries of his art.

The spontaneous and intuitive nature of his process invites

viewers to engage with the artwork and find their own

personal connection.

His has exhibited in Canada and is included in a

number of private collections.

He had three paintings featured in the British

publication World of Interiors

He is represented by TheGalleryGeorge in Vancouver.
