Michael Hernandez

Michael Hernandez is a multi-disciplinary artist, currently focusing on working with a combination of acrylic, aerosol, and digital tools to create saturated, organic, and detailed creations. While also maintaining a love of drawing and illustration, he takes inspiration from the flora and fauna of the natural world, graffiti lettering, cosmic forms, and geometric patterns. Whether it be by looking into the eyes of another living being, or gazing into the cosmos, he believes the universe stares back into itself in many ways. Through his visual art, he aims to express the connections between the experience of the self, the natural world, and the likely infinite dimensions that exist within and beyond ourselves.
