Artist Bio

Michael Guevara is a contemporary abstract artist born in 2005 based in Miami, Florida. Working primarily with acrylic on canvas, He creates paintings that explore the relationship between color, texture, and movement. His work is defined by expressive brushwork, layered surfaces and a physical approach to painting that embraces spontaneity while maintaining a strong sense of balance and composition.

Influenced by the energy of South Florida and a lifelong appreciation for music and creative expression, Guevara approaches each painting as an exploration of the self rather then recreating a predetermined image. Using various brushes of various levels of stiffness and different thickness of paints he builds richly textured worlds that invite the viewer to step closer and really appreciate all of the layers. He is also deeply invested in giving back to the community giving away pieces for free every week on his Instagram (@freeartfriday_miami).

His paintings are created to be statement pieces within residential, commercial, and hospitality spaces while remaining open to personal interpretation. Through bold compositions and dynamic color relationships, Guevara aims to create artwork that sparks curiosity, conversation and emotional connection.

As an emerging artist, Guevara is focused on building a cohesive body of work, hoping to exhibit throughout south Florida and collaborate with interior designers, collectors, galleries, and art consultants. He continues to expand his practice through large scale original paintings and commissioned works with the goal of creating contemporary art that leaves a long lasting visual impact.

Artist Statement

Painting is what brings me the most joy in my life.

Every canvas is an opportunity for me to explore color texture and movement. Most of the time I approach my paintings with no finished idea in my head I just let the painting reveal itself to me in the textures and colors on the canvas. When I paint I really lose myself in the process and by the time I’m finished it looks like a paint bomb went off in my studio.

My works end up being influenced by my emotions and feelings through color, texture and subject instead of through words. I like to invite the viewers to experience my paintings standing as close as possible so that you can really get lost in the layers and textures.

Above all I want my paintings to remind people that creativity is something that everyone has inherently and that art is everywhere. When I paint I like to invite my non artist friends to come by and paint with me so that they can witness the process and they can engage with the arts.
