Mihai Tanasescu

"Michel" - im an 40 years old man coming from ancestors talented in music and painting. My mother was a former professional singer at the Alexandru Davila theater from Pitesti City. After I was born, she decided to abandon her career as a singer and became a teacher of painting and art history. She now has a 40-years career in education and still teaches children about art and to painting, including me.  

After high school I finished the Traditional Art School in specialization of graphics and painting and after that I graduated the Ion Mincu school of architecture in Bucharest. Now I design post modern buildings and interiors combining traditional and modern ways of life in search of the good balance between the true nature of humans and their anthropic evolution. 

The struggle for equity and honesty in architecture, which concerns the philosophy of work and life, comes out through my artistic works also. "Michel" reveals his ideas in paintings, poetry, hand graphic original drawings or digitised and printed on canvas in various scales and colours, hand portraits, sculpture, clay modelling and free metal embossing by hand. 

From 2010, with extravagant sincerity, Michel expresses his thoughts, uncertainties and beliefs, sadness or joy, which are lately reflecting through my confessions in my paintings, art metal works, signed with the pseudonym Michel.
