Michael Benisty

Based in Lisbon, Portugal

Growing up in Antwerp, Belgium, Michael’s creative process first began with Photography throughout Europe and New York. After shooting several editorials for publications such as Arte, Architectural Digest, and Whitewall Magazine, Michael began exploring more in depth photo-editing techniques.

Michael’s discovery led him to creating Mixed Media Art with messages from his experiences traveling all over the world. His first Mixed Media Collection ‘if it disturbs you.. then it’s art’ was presented in 2007 at the Xerxes Gallery in London. The collection focused upon Michael’s growing feelings of helplessness of social and political issues while seeing extreme poverty, hunger, and the impacts of environmental concerns.
