About Michael Carini & Acrylic Alchemy

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
As every story has a past, present, and future, my fractured mind and temperamentally autonomous hands bring to light segmentations of energetic imagery, interacting and breathing through the boundlessness of space and time, as I fight to find my voice and my place in this world, while simultaneously fighting for control over my own mind and body. Pain to purpose and essence of energy, I create my own realities, my safe spaces for escape, as I capture the moments between the breaths.

EVERYTHING! My mission is to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience with powerful and meaningful art that can be placed in any room or environment to provide just the right energy or inspirational push you need. Whether you're an individual, business, or organization seeking the most avant-garde canvas art for your home or office, Carini Arts has the hands-on expertise to walk you through the entire art selection process. With a down-to-earth approach built upon a foundation of genuine relationships, I make buying art a seamless and memorable experience that will last a lifetime. It is these deeply rooted connections between real art and real people that lead so many Carini Arts patrons to return again and again.
Some people like to collect art and some people like to collect experiences. Looking to take an art class? Join me for private art lessons or a night of creative exploration with Carini Arts. I work with all ages, group sizes, and experience levels. Contact for your specific inquiries and needs.
