Michael Divine is part of a wave of creative visionaries who draw their inspiration not just from art theory and intellectual ideas but also from the basic principles of what it is to lead a healthy and vibrant life. His spirited and passionate work falls in step with a long tradition of artists who draw their inspiration from their interpretive visions. His paintings – with their imaginative wonder and mystical underpinnings – reference ancient traditions, modern artistic explorations, and contemporary themes. Michael’s artwork follows in the footsteps of the Symbolist movement of the late 1800′s as it progressed into the Modern Art movements of the early 1900′s. His work is as much inspired by Futurism, Impressionism, and Abstract Artists as it is by the Surrealists and the Fantastic Realists. From Wassily Kandinsky’s intuitive balance of line and color to the bold movements of Umberto Boccioni to the psychologically deductive landscapes of Salvador Dali, the elements of the past inform Michael’s art and provide a groundwork to build upon. His work continues a living artistic lineage and dialogue, adding a very present spiritual component to this artistic vision. Passionate and serene at once, Michael Divine’s images speak with a universal language of beauty that anyone can understand and relate to. Drawing upon his visions and experiences, his work explores the inner worlds of the psyche and the heart. He translates this experience into breathtakingly sublime imagery illustrating the journey of growth and transcendence through the inescapable phenomenon of human existence and conditioning. undefined
