Emmanuel Michel draws on his travels to create paintings, drawings, sculptures and engravings that emanate all the emotions, scents and sensations of a place. In this way, he brings to life characters that are more alive than life itself.
He chooses his destinations out of an interest in a people, a culture or a ritual. Accompanied by his field notebooks, he captures the daily life and environment of the people he meets. The artist is also inspired by the materials present on site to create his sculptures, made from bronze, clay or salvaged metal.
