Collection: MEHALIN Michel

Michel Mehalin develops a style of painting deeply rooted in the search for detail and the mastery of light. Fascinated by the precision and evocative power of hyperrealism, he creates works in which each reflection, each texture, and each shadow become essential elements of the pictorial language. His technique is based on the use of alkyd paint, a medium he favors for its fluidity and its ability to offer subtle blends, giving his canvases remarkable depth and chromatic intensity.

Always working on a black background, his art draws on the duality between darkness and light, silence and presence. This contrast creates a visual tension that captures the eye and brings the subjects he represents to life. The artist approaches each canvas as an intimate face-to-face, a total immersion where the gesture becomes meditation.

His approach is part of a quest for the absolute: making the invisible visible, translating the emotion contained behind the apparent perfection of reality. Through his works, Michel Mehalin questions our relationship with beauty, precision, and time, while reminding us that technical rigor can be a powerful vector of sensitivity and silent poetry.
