Michela Akers

Art is a language wherein harmonies are born and that language becomes a Song of Love and Light. Art is our divine self-expression. Art forms are lines, squares, circles, triangles, colors imbued with the artist’s spiritual energy... A vision drawn out in a visual landscape of symbols, transcendent by the mere presence of passionate energy. Art is a portal into your own power. You can intellectualize art, record its history, its pedigrees, but its primal pulse, its language, its communication...that is another thing. Biographically speaking, I am the daughter of a painter, lived in France for some years and met Picasso during that time.

Fantasy II “Fantasy II”

"And the phantasm continues..."

Cascade de Glandieu “Cascade de Glandieu”

"Just as a waterfall grows slower and more lightly
suspended as it plunges down, so the great man of action
tends to act with greater calmness than his tempestuous
desires prior to the deed would lead one to expect."

Friedrich Nietzsche

A Star Is Born “A Star Is Born”

“When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.”

William Shakespeare

After Monet's Rue Montorgueil “After Monet's Rue Montorgueil”

Life is passion. That assemblage of spirit that celebrates a certain sense of unity; it is of thee we sing and it, too, is pure passion.

Reflections

Reflections is an abstract painting. It is flowers floating in a pond. It is hope or despair floating in a pond.
