Sculpture has always played an important part in Michaël’s artistic interest. In particular, he finds the sculpture of the ancients and of neoclassicism sometimes even more exciting than many paintings.
After taking sculpture lessons from Joop Hollander and being taught modelling by Roy Greeve, in 2005 Michaël embarked on making sculptures in his own way of depicting things – the way with which we are so familiar from his paintings: a mixture of humour, alienation and depth.
