Images often develop out of quick sketches, inspired by many things such as a dream, a feeling, something suddenly remembered, a song, or a particular experience. I work with a diverse range of materials, enjoying experimenting with different art media (collage, drawing, painting and printmaking). Sometimes great surprises and discoveries come from working in an alternative medium.

 

My work creates a juxtaposition of dreams, realities and sensations, fleeting moments from life inspired by my own experiences. I explore a sense of empathy for existing across different places and times, examining personal sensations of deja-vu, while moving through times, locations, and states of being, without a fixed linear chronology.

 

My photography explores past events, experiences the present, and contemplates the future. The camera records, as a sketchbook, the essence of ideas, and the nuances of existence. Pathways are revealed in landscapes and faces that lead the explorer towards discoveries.

 

Photojournalist

 

I am fascinated by the area of shared experience and empathy between the photographer and his model. The creation of the image is a collaborative event, which extends beyond the moment to include the viewer within this collective process.

 

High quality archival prints of my artwork are also available from Imagekind. Prints can be produced on a range of super paper types and canvas. Alternatively you can also choose the type of mount and frame you would like the image to be displayed in.

I've admired Mike's art for years, so it was a great pleasure to find him here. His work is layered and empathic and beautiful, strong and clear and brave. Mike is tireless in his exploration of what it means to be human, using his discerning eye and steady hand to create timeless, breathtaking images.

I've been a fan Ateliersol 's graphic art for several years, when I by accident came across his website...and now I learn he does great photography as well.

A superb artist and photographer who has succeeded in keeping the charm and beauty of boys central to his work depite the increasingly weird paranoia still current in Britain. No doubt this is due not only to his inarguable talent but also to his unwavering respect for those who inspire his art.
