About Michael Carini & Acrylic Alchemy

Don’t be afraid to be different…Be afraid to be the same

Michael Carini is a neurodivergent artist with Tourette's based in San Diego

Michael Carini received his artistic training in Los Angeles, studying at Loyola Marymount University while simultaneously serving as an apprentice under respected artists Jane Brucker and Roland Reiss. Graduating at the top of his class with honors including the Scholar of Distinction Award in Painting, Carini returned to his hometown in San Diego, where he currently maintains his studio. With over 100 exhibitions nationally and internationally, he has received over a dozen major awards and was named Emerging Artist of the Year by Art Design Consultants. Carini's work can be found all over the globe in the collections of celebrities, major businesses, and private collectors. 

 

About Braska

This little kitty was born on the mean street of Omaha, Nebraska. After a rough start to life that landed her in an Omaha animal shelter at just a couple months old, Michael rescued her and flew her out to sunny San Diego, giving her a new identity, a new name (Braska), and a new life filled with cat trees, boxes, and everything else her little kitty mind could ever imagine. Though Michael thinks he is in charge, it's clear that Braska is the real boss. She brings great joy into the studio and a lot of love. Braska enjoys doing Instagram Live videos and taking selfies when she's not stepping in paint or trying to steal Michael's paintbrushes, which has become her favorite new hobby. She generally does her managing from the perch of her studio cat tree where she can get a clear view in between daytime naps in the sun. Braska makes contributions to Michael's work by making sure every single piece has remnants of kitty fur. She knows there is no better way to show her appreciation for her new life and to remind Michael that she really saved him.

Artist Statement

Michael Carini’s creative visions will play with your senses and illuminate the human condition as he delves into the uncensored depths of his mind and invites you to catch a glimpse of the other side. Transmuting his medium through what he describes as a poetically alchemical process based upon the principles of equivalent exchange (Acrylic Alchemy), it is Carini’s hope that you will completely lose yourself within these labyrinthine experiences, only to discover a new sense of self and emerge reborn.

As every story has a past, present, and future, what may at first glimpse appear to be non-objective abstraction is in fact segmentations of energetic imagery interacting and breathing through the boundlessness of space and time.
